Loads of roast, sweet cherry Jolly ranchers and raspberry pie. Solid coffee notes, burnt espresso, and some strong soy. Mouth feel is thinner than expected with a soft carb. Subtle sweetness, big roast, lovely raspberry jam flavours. The two mingle well and neither take over the beer. Well balanced, a nice sipper.

650ml Bomber. Possibly the blackest, thickest pour, I’ve ever seen. Dark brown, sticky head. Loads of chocolate in the nose. Immense amounts of roast, and dark, bitter espresso, with a big dank dose of soy. The mouth feel is oily, and incredibly thick, and satisfying. The carb is incredibly soft, and silky. The finish is quite nutty, and he hazelnut comes through. Hints of sweet vanilla with some intense, strong roasty coffee, and roasted malt notes. High bitterness, cocoa, coffee, light nuttiness, hints of sweet vanilla. This is one intense, big beer.. Not for the faint of heart, not for a craft beer noob. Take your time, this one kicks back, wow.

A can brought back as a gift from Florida. Cloudy orange pour, small white wheat. Lovely coriander and orange zest Aroma. Light spice and yeasty bread with some good cereals. Mouth feel is nice, carb is soft. Low bitterness, loads of lemon and orange and slight spice. Takes the traditional flavours of the style and dials them up to 11, great stuff.
