Can from Brew Export Advent Calendar. Dark and glossy. Kreosote tint. Foamy tan head. Aroma is boozy with coffee and cream. Sweet with a peripheral bitterness. Flavourwise there's tangy edge combining berries and booze. This compliments a bitter coffee and cacao streak. Underlying molasses and cream liqour. Thick. Oily. Soft carbonation has a delicate prickle. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Cannibalism? Human flesh is supposed to taste good so a fitting name as this does too.

Panda thanks to Wingman. A Mosaic and Citra brew from AT? Getaway! Oh, this one has Motueka as well? A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Airy and fairly dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. It's that typical AT Citra Mosaic dipa/ tipa affair, smooth malts, a decent creamy sweetness, very slight natural grain. Ripe citrus and abundant candy fruits, some candy blueberry. Motueka? Trace of key lime on the back end. Light and semi dry finish. Nothing wrong with this brew at all, a fine and drinkable affair. It's just that it's just another minor variation on the same theme and, therefore to me, boringly predictable.
