Draft - Spicey coffee notes. Clear gold with no head. Light coffee and a touch of heat. Rye seems to be spicy rather than bready and more like chilli.

On tap at Old Abbey, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small white head. Aroma brings out wood, some funk, and toasted nuttiness. Flavour is very woody and earthy, with some funk, earthy notes, and toasted malt. Quite weird but it works.

On tap at Old Abbey, pours a hazy orange amber with a tiny head. Nose is very boozy, with lots of oak, liqueur, and perfume. Flavour is hot, with perfume, varnish, loads of alcohol and dark fruits. All over the place, extremely messy and very harsh. Completely disharmonious and difficult to drink.

Draft - Fruity, sweaty and citrus notes. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Funky stone fruit and sweetness. Funk is a bit overwhelming and a bit overboard.

On tap at Old Abbey, pours a hazy orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out notes of coffee, a touch of caramel and dark fruits. Flavour curiously also brings out lots of coffee, like they either haven't cleaned their lines or something, along with caramel and dark fruits. I actually really like the coffee in this. Light bodied for the style, but integrated well. Very nice.

On tap at Old Abbey, pours a filthy, sludgy orangey brown with a small beige head. Aroma is very earthy and abrasive, with woody oak and English bready malt. Flavour is just nasty, with sludgy earthy malt, a touch of oak, and English malt. Earthy, sludgy and gross.
