Poured from the tap @ MBCC 2023 (finally adding my notes). Very dark brown with small beige head. Nice wheat wine quality with rye and bourbon, great balance.

Can picked up at M&F Bottleshop and shared at home (04/10/2024) - Vibrant tropical and citrus fruity on the nose and taste follows, lots of citrusy pink grapefruit and tangerine, pineapple, some nice piney woody notes, clean sweet pale malty backing, fresh and piney balanced bitter hoppy finish. Tasty and exceedingly quaffable.

Pint can at Benny’s Cafe. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a thin broken tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, marshmallow. The flavour is moderate sweet, light liqourice bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, roasty, nutty, sugary marshmallow palate. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Tap @MBCC 2024, Green Session. Black, small beige head. Rich malty aroma, light madeira. Sweet, woody and strong booozy flavour. Did not expect that from madeira, must be the BB.
