Bottle - Malty twig notes. Deep amber with a decent beige head. Toffee and nice dark malts with a hint of toast. Solid for the style.

dark brown color. Very vegatle in the nose with some chocolate. Slightly hoppy. Mouth is medium body slightly sweet. Very simple. Not horrible but not very appealing.

Can - Light corn notes. Clear gold with a decent white head. Light, sweet and a touch of corn. Exactly what it says it is without any faults. Not bad.

Rerate at a much higher score than before.

Dark brown. No head. The nose is a bit like bouillon with that meaty note, but also some sweeter chocolate character. On the palate, a bit roasty, some sweeter toffee notes, chocolatey syrup. All told, maybe not the most refined character, but there’s some decent elements in here. Moderate bitterness.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy deep dark brown with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out toasted malt, light English hops, and dry cocoa. Flavour is smooth, with dry cocoa, toasted malt and some light roast. Smooth palate, and very easy to drink.

Soft hop aroma, little head and lager body. Okay wheat and lager flavour with hints of citrus. Medium finish. Not bad but very lagery for a wheat brew.

Nice dark velvet body with little head. Soft cooked grain aroma but nothing else. Flavour is spicy barley notes woth no finesse and a watery finish. Simple and drinkable but that is it.

Minimal head and copper body. Minimal aroma of malt and nothing more. But nice crisp floral flavour, hints of hops. Dry finish. Not much to look at but good to drink.

light brown color. Massive nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon nose. The mouth is massively overspiced. It’s the most overspiced beer I’ve ever had. It is god awful. My breath is getting freshened up from these spices. Just terrible.
