Pours murky dark amber with small white head. Aroma light fruit. Flavour malts, a bit fruity, and winter spice. Mouthfeel fairly light on the carbonation. Okay, feels like something is missing.

Pale amber-brown. No head. The aroma is quite orangey, light blackcurrant. On the palate, it has a bit of roughness, a crackery note, some alcohol, and again a lot of orangey character. That seville orange marmalade is the best part of this. The base malts aren't super amazing, though. A touch of alcohol in the finish.

500mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark amber mahogany with a tiny white head. Aroma has plenty of spicy, earthy rye upfront, with bready malt, and a touch of toffee. Flavour has tons of marmalade, bready malt, some caramel, and earthy spiciness. Plenty of marmalade, weird spiciness, earthiness, and bready malt. Very odd. There's nothing wrong here, but I'm not really digging the flavours.

Soft, juicy, medium bitterness, a bit of caramel, and stone fruit hoppiness.

Amber, opaque. So the aroma is figgy, with lots of bourbon, dried orange peel, that sort of thing. On the palate, it doesn't have a lot of body, the malt character is decent, but the lack of body does hold it back...a little carbo would bring out the complexity a bit more.

Poured from 500mL bottle (bottled Nov 2022). Very hazy copper with very minimal white head. Some whiskey, some bread malt, a bit flat, meh.

Pours murky brown and flat. Aroma deep caramel. Malt and spice. Definitely some woodiness, almost retroactively dry. Odd; okay.

500mL bottle, pours a murky rusted red, no head. Nose brings out bready malt, gentle toffee, and very gentle whiskey. Flavour is quite bitter, subdued whiskey barrels, and bready malt. The flat carb doesn't work well, the whiskey is not that complex, and there's a pronounced bitterness to this. Not bad, but this doesn't work for me.

On tap at The Beer Junction, pours a mostly clear muddy bronze with almost no head. Aroma is dry and malty, with toasted nuts, dry caramel, and bready crusts. Flavour is weird — the carbonation is flat, which is throwing off the flavour — there's bready malt, maybe toasted nuts. But the flat carb kind of ruins this, creating a muted flavour profile. It's not terrible, but it's severely lacking for me.

Hazy, amber. On CO2 for some reason. Fruity, blackcurrant hops -good classic English hop profile. Biscuity malts, not bad. Definitely would want this on cask though.
