Can. Fairly hazy orange with a good cm of white head that lasts well enough. Fresh orange pulp aroma with some pineapple, chewed crackers. Juicy with a little zesty top note. Not very sweet with a finish that's dryish but not very bitter. Good, refreshing. Does what it does through complementarity rather than just bunging in more hops.

500ml bottle at School of Animals, Kuala Lumpur. Bottled 04/22. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a mostly lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, chocolate, boozy alcohol. The flavour is moderate sweet, light liquorice bitter, with a smooth, rich, roasty, dark chocolate, red berry fruit, light vinous, dry, oaky, light vanilla, boozy liquorice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. Pretty awesome!

375ml can from School of Animals, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy yellow golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, lemon citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a fresh, crisp, juicy lemon citrus, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Better than I expected. Very refreshing.

Can. Cloudy amber with a white head that gradually fades to the rim. Aroma of spices, apricot, orangewater, light dough. Mellow fruit and light dough with spices building with the moderate bitterness. Nice but could have done with more bubbles and bitterness.

Bottle, 13C. Jet black with a dense cm of tan head that never quite disappears. Aroma of milk chocolate, lean red wine, rich mocha, oak - straight away obvious this is a transformed by barrel beer, not a wet spirit barrel beer. Roasty and a bit fudgy with a (H & V-esque) Welsh Cake note. Stentorian bitter roasted and dark chocolate flavours gradually take over and are just softened a bit by vanilla and oak. Excellent.

Aromas of grapefruit, pine, caramel and toast leading to a really gutsy taste with loads of hops and malt. Very enjoyable.

Loads of pine and stone fruit in the aroma. Very smooth mouthfeel with a hint of caramel and a nice big load of pine-flavoured hops. Easy drinking nine percenter, but not incredibly memorable.
