(Can) Pours clear black with deep red highlights and a small tan head. Nice aroma of coconut with some tangy stone fruit hints and maybe a hint of chocolate. Luxurious mouthfeel - medium body, soft, cushiony carbonation. Great taste too - interesting and well balanced. There’s a tangy and somewhat bitter start that is quickly followed by coconut, some malt and chocolate sweetness, which slowly evolves into a dark chocolate bitter finish. Very enjoyable.

(Can) Pours deep brown with a nice tan head. Pleasant aroma of roast malt with dried fruit notes. Lovely mouthfeel with medium to full body and plenty of smooth fine carbonation giving a velvety feel. Taste is a clever balance of rich and complex with refreshing. There’s fruitcake and chocolate finishing quite dry and hoppy bitter. Very enjoyable.

(Can) Pours cloudy golden with small white head. Pleasant subtle candy aroma with some yeasty hints. Lovely mouthfeel - soft, smooth, plenty of body, slightly sticky, fine carbonation. Great taste too, and a lot going on. There’s a nice sweetness that runs through the palate, lighter than caramel, rather fruity. There’s some gentle bitterness in the finish along with a little alcohol heat. There’s notes of pepper, stone fruit, dried grapes, and some banana yeast notes. Very enjoyable.

(Can) Pours clear golden with tiny white head. Nice fresh aroma - notes of raspberries, wine, pine. Medium body, plenty of fine carbonation. Very unusual taste, and pleasant. There’s some nice raspberry and white wine notes up front. They are quickly joined by some peppery spicy notes. From these emerges a softer fruitiness and a creamy note. The peppery spice returns with some hop bitterness for a long finish. Unusual and very drinkable.

Can. Pink with a white head that fades to a cm. Aroma of of raspberries, crackers, grapes, melon. Fairly light bodied for 7.5%. Dry. Nothing really from the malt. Lots more influence from the hops that suggested by that initial sniff - the raspberry supports the hops, not the other way around. Some of that leafiness that's in raspberries lingers unhappily at the end. It's interesting and they've certainly achieved what they set out to - but after 100ml I'd had more than plenty.

(Can) Pours clear deep red brown with thin short-lived beige head. Aroma of toffee, candy, hints of bread. Light body with good bright carbonation. Unusual, complex and good taste. Dark toffee provides a backbone. There’s some burnt sugar notes at the end, and some raisins and funky hints at the start. The alcohol is well hidden. Unusual, interesting, but maybe a bit too unusual.

(Can) Pours clear go,den with tiny white head. Nice aroma of light caramel and peppery spice. Good mouthfeel - medium body with good fine carbonation. Nice rich taste, primarily caramel sweetness and some good hoppy bitterness. There’s some peppery notes, some appples and raisins at the start. It’s surprisingly refreshing and drinkable, rather that sippable and for savoring. Very good.

Can, bb 6/19. Clear deep red with a rapidly fading beige head. Rather shy aroma of sticky breadcrust and spices. Pretty thin for its strength. There's caramel and some dried fruit but no richness or depth. Fairly bitter and a bit spicy at the end. A bit more malt is revealed as it warms but it still feels a bit mean. I wonder if it's as intended.
