Darker brownish clear body and modest foam. Sweet malt on tbe nose and sharp hoppiness. Flavour is a good hop and malt balance, chewy and deep. Full on the mouth. Straight ahead for a biscuity pale ale but it works.

500 ml bottle. Pours a clear dark brown with moderate head. Aromas of cola and nuts with roasted barley and a hint of chocolate. Flavors of same; nuttiness is dry and acidic and there is a slight vegetal note. Overall a pretty good porter for a new brewery though. Sure to get better.

500 ml bottle. Pours a clear amber with full head. Aromas of tropical fruit, passionfruit and mango, with candied orange and toasted malts. Flavors of candied fruit, sweet pineapple, light spicy resin and biscuity malts. Grassy finish. Subtle for a rye ale but nicely balanced. Pleasant.
