473 ml can. Pours a dark brown with full foamy tan head. Aromas of creamy coffee, marzipan, dull chocolate and roasted malts. Flavors of creamy coffee, lactose, dry milk chocolate, some undefined hops and roasted malts. Seems to be creamy and dry at the same time. Interesting; a definite step up from a big milk stout but nowhere near a great Imperial Stout IMHO.

473ml can. Pours a hazy yellow with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces nicely. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, white grapefruit, peach, earthy yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, white grapefruit, green grape, peach, earthy yeast and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Juicy and tasty.
gave a cheers!

473mL can. Pours black with a beige head. Dry brown sugars and toasted bread on the nose. Flavour has a rich roasted malt profile, very bready, some nuts, some dry caramel. Very nicely put together imperial stout, great malt expression.

355mL can, pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma has faint roast, a touch of bitter cocoa, maybe a touch of brine if I strain. Flavour is much the same, with bitter cocoa, light-to-moderate roast, and a hint of briny character. Very light-bodied, finishing with roast. Simple, light, session stout.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 30/10/25). Dark brown with full light tan head. Dry cocoa powder, dark sugars, relatively roasty. As a non-adjunct impie, it's fairly decent, but not a home run - it's just a touch powdery.

473mL can, pours black with a medium beige head. Aroma has bold roasted malt, a touch of dry cocoa, and light coffee. Flavour is bold, with deep roasted malt, ample hops to back, with a touch of coffee and dark cocoa undertones. Great roasted malt base that carries this. Excellent.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a clear dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma has dry bready malt and earthiness. Flavour has a good malt body, with bready malt, toasted caramel, and some earthy hops. Clean and rounded for the style. Very good.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has a mineraly character and toasted malt. Flavour is fairly restrained, with toasted malt, mineraly notes, not much else. There’s barely any hops, and I fail to see the point of the oyster. Clean enough but uninteresting.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has gentle smoke upfront, with toasted malt, and some straw. Flavour is vibrant and gently smoky, with a nice campfire smoke character, toasted malt, and straw. The smoke is subtle but prominent enough to be the highlight. Very good.
