Growler fill from the LCB online shop. Pours still-looking black, there was a short-lived thin beige head. Aromas of chocolate, salted caramel, almonds. Taste is more of the same. Way too sweet for me. How about just making a nice stout?

Can. Blimey! This is a big one. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate has some body as you might expect when 12% of it is alcohol but it remains fairly light overall, mildly dry and with good fine minerally carbonation. Soft malts, a creamy sweetness that would be over sweet in most 8%+ dipas, but here, there is more to compete with. Hops deliver crisp pine and a fair old hop spice nibble that starts straight away and remains even through the aftertaste. Savoury skunk, getting distinctly salty. Rich ripe tropical fruits, liqueur like. The Sabro here, coming over as a cheapish coconut liqueur. Some ripe rich citrus on the back end along with more hop spice. Good fun in an off your tits sort of way but lacks drinkability for me, half a can was more than enough.

Keg @ Tilt, Birmingham with Rich, John and Craig. Clear glowing gold appearance, white head. Rich sweet aroma. Taste is achingly sweet with strong alcohol, medium bodied with some juicy tropical moments. Just way too sweet for me.
