Can from HoTM. It pours oily dark brown/black with a tan head which eventually dissipates. The aroma is rich roasted malt, chewy, toothy, umami, big ol' hit of liquorice, bitter dark chocolate, rich dark roast, dried and dark fruits, fruit cake, plum pudding and some jammy berry. The taste is slick, oily, bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, toasty, chewy, slightly charred, toothy, umami, liquorice, pretty fruity, plum, date, prune, jammy blueberry, fig jam, some warming alcohol, touch of spice and light tannin with a slick, roasty finish. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and slick mouth feel. Flavour with some good fruitiness. Enjoyable.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - murky red with an orange tinge. Big fluffy that disappears in a fizz after about 5 minutes. Nose - the cranberry completely dominates the pineapple and peach which you really have to look for. It's funky with sour edge. Taste - sour and funky cranberry with just a little peach or pineapple sweetness coming through underneath. Palate - close to medium bodied, tangy sour middle and finish. Overall - ok.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - opaque brown to black. Thin creamy off-white head. Nose - dark chocolate, light molasses and just a hint of salt and smoke. An edge of caramel. Taste - rich honey, caramel, raisins and dark chocolate. Palate - medium bodied, sweet middle and finish. Overall - would've liked a bit of roast on this to give it more structure.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - murky amber to brown. Creamy, slightly off-white head. Nose - dank, tangerine and ripe melon. Taste - bitter orange, pith and zest.
