Bottle, 12C. Black with a tan head. Aroma of mocha, slightly smoky roasted malt, licorice, kumquat. Quite full bodied, smooth. Lowish carbonation. Not all that sweet. There's more chocolate than coffee in the mocha, but roasty flavours and firmish bitterness keep it all in check. There are flashes of tropical fruit that I don't know about - not sure they fitted, but they do lighten the palate. The finish is brief with smoke, pepper and bitterness.

Bottle. Amber with a white head. Punchy floral aroma of pine, berries, kumquats, light biscuit. Just medium bodied with a slight touch of caramel with the biscuit. Not all that sweet, gives sufficient support to fruit Increasingly resinous and it dries out towards the bitter and floral finish. Yet another good pale ale from Epic. Couldn't detect the woo in my chakras.
