Can, 10C. Copper with a pale beige head that doesn't last. Aroma is spicy and bready with some biscuit. Dry with biscuit and bread before earthy and spicy bitterness. I was expecting a riff on Landlord but this is OK if not that.

Can. Poured in a Tripel Karmeliet thistle style glass because that's never not funny. Very dark brown with a tan head that's soon a coat. Aroma of strong bread, caramel, whisky, some Port. Smooth, creamy with lowish carbonation. Fairly sweet with toffee, toast, whisky, vanilla oak, some other spices. Bitterness waits to creep up then does just enough to keep the sweetness from overstaying. Big for 6.5%. Fine balance, good beer.

Surely an ESA? Can. Started at 10C, probably too cold. Murky amber. A white head struggles to form. 3- Aroma of biscuit, vanilla, whisky, lemon, spices. Fills out a lot in the taste with booming whisky and warmth, light biscuit, lightening citrus, a nip of insistent spices and bitterness that's just enough to round things up at the end. Grand.

Can. I guess they really used the h2g2 cover. Clear deep copper with a coat of beige head that hangs on at the rim. Aroma of dried and some stewed fruit, strong bread, flowers, some pudding spices. Rich but not unduly sweet with firm bitterness. Dried fruit, strong bread, Seville orange peel. Alcohol edges up towards obvious. Layers of malt but not heavy and has character as well as weight.

Can. Almost clear gold with a rocky white head. Tropical aroma with firm crackery malt behind. The additions are apparently lime and coconut but don't stick out unduly. Quite sweet upon a taste and the coconut is more obvious before tropical fruit and a finish that just burns a little. The lime registers right at the end.

Can. Black with a light tan head that settles to a cm. A real rich chocolate aroma with roast and light spices behind. Prominent but not quite dominant chocolate is very nice with smooth bready malt and spicy bitterness. The packaging says it’s trying to be a stronger, fancier Young’s - and it is. Perhaps lacks its magical balance but very good.

Can. Clear brown with a beige head. Modest aroma of brown bread, dried banana, some chocolate. Lighter bodied than I'd guessed. Tastes much as it smells with modest sweet toasted malt, hints of fruit and some spiced bitterness at the end. Dull.

Keg at Sloth Bar, Footscray. An interesting Amber ale that looked alright in its reddish colour and was quite quaffable. Some malty raisin flavours but quite weak in the profile.
