Bottle from BenH. Thanks a lot. Black beer lasting tan head. Tar and molasses aroma and liquorice. Bit too much liquorice for me. Good mouthfeel though. Not my kind of impy stout for flavour, but the mouthfeel is good. Thanks Ben.

Bottle thanks to BenH. Hazy amber lasting beige head. Smoky sausage aroma. Rather good if you really liked smoked bacon crisp flavoured beers. Which I do. Over carbonated. That’s really rather good if you like smoked bacon crisps. Hilariously tasty.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - golden amber with a generous fluffy head. Nose - white pepper and green herbs. Some tangy citrus in the background. Taste - pineapple and white pepper so straight saison. Not sure what am supposed to get re the hemp seeds. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - yep good saison. Complex yet refreshing.

33cl bottle thanks to BenH. Appearance - a gusher! Then cloudy amber to chestnut. Good head. Nose - light but persistent smoke. Some stewed fruit behind it probably apple. Taste - barbecued pineapple. So tangy tropical citrus thing with a layer of smoke. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy and smoky texture and a balanced if drying finish. Overall - complex beer. Good.
