On tap at the 4 Pines, Manly March 2012. Near black with a decent, tan head. Aroma of porridge oats, chocolate and roasted malts. Flavour had coffee, more chocolate and oats leading to a dry finish. Good.

Bottle. Hazy orange with a large white head. High bead. Aroma of lemon, cloves, banana, a slight plasticy note. Very carbonated mouthfeel. Slightly sweet with some fruit but not much bread. Crackery and spicy dry finish rushes up.

From a 330ml bottle on 18/2/2012. Pours a cloudy straw colour with a gushing head. This is ridiculously over carbonated. Has an odd chemcial aroma with some banana and clove. In the mouth, it’s very sweet with some banana and mild spice. Might be passable if it wasn’t for the dud carbonation, but as it is, it’s a disappointment. Best to stick with their stout, which is a cracker.

From a 330ml bottle on 12/12/2011. Pours almost black with quite a big tan head. Has a pleasant aroma of chocolate and coffee. In the mouth, there’s a good dash of dark chocolate and lots of bitter roasted malt. Has a slightly creamy texture and a long finish. Just a really well put together stout, with great balance.

(Bottle) Poured opaque black - opaque not because it was cloudy, just because it is very black. Nice tan head. Pleasant aroma of chocolate, dark toffee and dried fruit with hints of fresh sawn wood. Smooth creamy mouthfeel with medium body and fine full carbonation. Strong start with dark chocolate, coffee and smokiness, moving through a slightly thin mid taste to a good bitter finish mixing hoppy bitterness and a lingering smokey burnt note. Overall an unusual beer that works well. Very dry with little in the way of sweetness or fruitiness, but is not unbalanced. Enjoyably different.

Bottled, thanks baggio! Black, minimal head. Heavily roasty with asphalt and dark chocolate. Dry, firm and clean. Plenty of cocoa and tobacco-like finish. A solid stout with concentrated flavours.

(Bottle) Hazy straw with decent white head. Pleasant citrusy aroma. Light body, good carbonation. Refreshing clean citrusy foretaste, a bit bland after that with some slightly harsh bitterness in the finish. Overall, OK but not special.

Pours golden amber with a large fading head.Nose shows sweet bready malt, floral hops and hints of citrus. Quite soft, almost plain.Similar flavours, hints of lemon, off-putting bready/grainy malt and a metallic bitterness.Carbonation is too high.
