Pinkish red colour with a small pinkish head. Aroma is ginger, some blood grapes and forest strawberries. Flavour is strawberries, ginger and some mild wooden tones. Gingery and strawberryish aftertaste. The good thing is that it is refreshing.

Bottled. Black. Not so great. Way too sweet and just doesn’t work. Asian stouts are way better. and they’re not great.

Pour is a complete black with a large mocha head. Aroma is sweet toasted malt and dark fruit. Flavor is a semi sweet chocolate malt with a little caramel with no alcohol felt. Finish is sweet chocolate malts. Like eating some semi-sweet morsel chocolate you use for chocolate chip cookies. Tasty and I like the 10oz bottle for this big beer.

11/5/2025. Bottle bought at Raja stores, Ipswich. Pours clear pale red with a large frothy pinkish head. Aroma is shandy, citrus, leafy, herbal. Very sweet tasting, with some green bitters and a spicy slightly tart edge. Light body, sticky, foamy carbonation. Much to sweet but liked some other elements.
