Can. Deep gold with a large white head that gradually fades to a scant coat. Aroma of spiced dough, oranges, some apricot. Just medium bodied. Moderately sweet with sugary dough, some stone fruit. A little lean towards dry at the end with spices (coriander, cloves) & modest bitterness. Convincing.

Can. Light amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma of passionfruit, some mango, orange, light biscuit. 6+ Thinnish and quite fizzy. Sweet with biscuit and tropical fruit, then rather weedy bitterness at the end. Refreshing.

Can. Amber with a cm of cream head. Aroma of toffee, peach, floral hops. Tastes much as it smells. Rather too sweet for me and I'd like a bit more bitterness (although it creeps up after a time) but it's not bad at all.

Can from taproom. Black with a light tan that fizzes away to the rim. 3- Chocolaty aroma with roast, coffee and some earthy spices. Perhaps a little orange peel. Medium bodied. Moderately sweet with as much licorice as chocolate, firm roast, spiced bitterness. Is there quite enough going on for 7.5% ABV? But that insistent bitterness is a winner.
