Can from Against The Grain. Dark brown body with ruby highlights and a thin beige head that fades. No visible carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of toffee and liquorice. Flavour of soy sauce and salted caramel. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. A dark and sharp beer. It’s nice but not as sweet and deep as I hoped it would be.

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from RAD Beer and drunk at home. Mid-brown with a strong reddish hue, clear with a quickly dissipating beige head. Sumptuous aroma of cherries, white pepper, cola, dried grass, light funk. Sweet taste, lots of spice, some almost souring woody notes. Fairly thick body, tannic, low to medium carbonation. Great stuff, a bit odd but all the better for it.
