some chocolatey character and restrained. Boring as hell and so similar to many brewpub porters around the world. Whatever

chestnut color. Malty, earthy mouth with a hint of whisky. Austere. Very malty, a touch dry, full bodied malty mouth. Rounded and fairly well put together, though a bit restrained on flavor. Fairly decent.

(On tap) Almost crystal clear with a vague, golden hue. Aroma of apples and alcohol. Quite full-bodied with perfumy apple accents that are completely drowned in alcohol. This really is a cider to get loaded on. 300108

(On tap) Almost crystal clear with a small, white head. Clean - lightly tart - aroma of apples. Medium body, a little high in carbonation with acidic, clean apple notes and some vague, underlying sweetness. A very quaffable mainstream cider. 300108

(On tap) Clear, amber golden with an off-white head. Unusual, spicy and herbal aroma. Quite full-bodied with sweet, roasted malt and again herbal accents - almost like cough syrup. The finish is pure alcohol. Presumably a top-fermented beer, but it has some Strong Lager characteristics. 300108

(On tap) Clear, warm, orangey brown with a creamy, beige head.Aroma of alcohol and roasted malt. Rather full body with plenty of roasted malt accents and again this unfortunate cardboard tang that seems to haunt several Tasman beers. Lightly bitter finish with quite some alcohol shining through. 300108

(On tap) Slightly hazy brown with a warm, orange hue and a creamy, beige head. Lightly burned malt aroma. Medium in body with sweet, fruity notes, some nuts also. Unfortunately also an edge of cardboard. Sweet, candy-like finish. 300108

6.2/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
(On tap) Presumably infused with coffee from NZ coffee company: www.mojocoffeecartel.com. Clear, dark brown with a handsome, creamy, beige head. Distinct coffee aroma - not just from the roasted malts - this is REAL coffee. Medium body, a little low in carbonation. Not really any roasted maltiness - just coffee. Almost no bitterness. Not bad but a little more body would’ve done wonders. 300108
