Pint on tap at Basement Brewhouse Bankstown. Crystal clear amber beer with thin white head. Hardly any carbonation. Aroma of malt and sweet lemon. Crisp and refreshing at first, flavour really develops later. Notes of earth and pine, a finish best described as 'sweet wood'. Excellent balance, bitter and sweet. Great easy-drinking ale.

On tap at Panhead Viaduct. Pours red brown. Hazelnuts, caramel, cherry, bitter nutty finish. Perhaps not super in style but nice enough.

Taster at GABS Auckland 2017. Black and thick. Bourbon, chocolate, vanilla, wood. Texture is like heavy cream but with a fair chunk of alcohol heat.
