(Bottle) Dark brown colour with hints of ruby. Dense beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of coffee, dark chocolate, red berries, caramel, treacle and sweet liquorice. Malty, roasted taste with black coffee, liquorice, burnt sugar, caramel, cacao, raisins, dark fruit and a generous coffee bitterness in the finish. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Rich and tasty, with lots of coffee and cacao. Very nice.

(Can) Pours black with loose coffee coloured head. Great complex aroma - fruity, boozy, coffee hints. Full bodied, silky creamy with fine carbonation. Taste has a backbone of burnt sugar / dark toffee bitterness with plenty of other flavours overlaid. There’s some toffee sweetness, some dried fruit at the start. There’s booze apparent towards the end. Coffee notes are pretty subdued. Very nice, but the taste is a bit aggressive for me.

(Can) Pours clear golden amber with decent white head. Lovely refreshing aroma of pine and tropical fruit. Surprisingly full bodied and smooth with plenty of soft carbonation. Lovely mouthfeel. Great taste too. The taste is about the hops, but not just about the hops, it has balance. The hops though provide an evolving and complex taste from tangy fruity through peppery spice to bitter and somewhat earthy. There’s some pleasant biscuit malt with a hint of sweetness behind the hops, but really only apparent in the mid palate. Very nice.

From a 500ml can on 22/3/2020 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a hazy golden with a medium head. The nose is fruity but a bit muted, with some fridgey notes. Tastes ok, with a bit of sweet citrus and stone fruit and a very mild spicy bitterness, but it's a bit non-descript. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Fairly pedestrian gear.
