Keg, half-pint in the Organ Grinder, Loughborough on 20th January 2025. Black bodied, tanned crust. Malty and sweet, almost like a liquid Crunchie Bar. My sweet tooth took to it.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the Organ Grinder, Loughborough on 20th January 2025. Clear golden amber body, white crown, bitter hops with a citrus leaning, more 'hoppy' than the regular Infinity and Infinity Plus One, more boozy too.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers. Aroma of roasted malts, nuts, chocolate and cocoa. Roasted nuts and chocolate with vanilla comes through on the taste. Low carbonation. A touch watery but all in all very nice.

Tap at the Ipswich Beer Festival. Aroma of coconut, tropical fruits, waxy, stone fruits and orange. Juicy tropical bitterness with good body. Dry to finish.

Bottle from Vine & Bine, Solihull. Pours near black with some red hue and nice beige top. Aroma has roast, dry nuts, light brown sugar and oats. Taste is quite roasty with somewhere between charred wood and coffee, hint of blackcurrant, liquorice, pepper. Enough sweetness to balance. Mid bodied, quite drying. Very good stout.

330ml panda from LCB. Poursa black with small beige to tanned head. Aroma of dark malts, sweet crunchie bar, toffee. Taste of roasted malts, sweet toffee, chocolate, burnt honeycomb. Medium+ bodied, sticky, low carbonation, roasty bitterness. Sweet, rich and bitter. Maybe too rich although the flavours are good. More of a sipping type beer despite the strength.
