Bottle, 0.33l. Black pour, one finger beige head, short lasting. No lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, herbal, dark fruits, caramel in the background. Thin to medium body, soft carbonation. Average mouthfeel and texture, mild prickly, quite smooth. Taste is a bit on the sweet side with mild bitter liquory notes. Aroma of caramel and toffee. Syrup. Dark fruits, herbs. Liquor, moderately boozy. A bit sticky. Medium lasting finish, dry and liquory, mild alcohol burn on the tongue. Pleasant surprise.

Bottle, 0.33l. Black pour, no head. No lacing. Intense on the nose, strong caramel and cocoa notes, seems quite on the sweet side. Thin body, soft carbonation. Light mouthfeel and texture, soft and smooth. Intense sweet taste, a bit cloying actually. Tons of sugar in this one. Aroma of sugar, molasses, caramel, toffee and cocoa powder. Coffee and cappuccino. Short finish. Not so good. Way too sweet for my taste, not something I'd pick up again.

Aroma has cake dough and pineapple. Sweet, full bodied beer with just a hint of sourness. Strong roasted malt and tropical fruit flavors (pineapple and mango). A tasty tropical treat!

Bottle. Golden color. Floral bready grainy aroma and flavor with a hint of apple. Sweetish. Better as I expected.

[625ml bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring.] A straw coloured pour with a fading white head; grassy aroma; sweet cereal body; and a vague grassy bitterness to finish. A typical tropical lager.

330ml bottle at Shabab in Leeds. Clear golden-brown body, dissipating pearl white head, spotty lacing. Modest smell of cereal and distant herbal hops. Mid-sweet cereal to the taste profile with vague moments of fruity hops beneath. Ends mid-sweet. Okay with the spiced Indian food. (Leeds 02.07.2019).

Bottle to glass at Hotal Colombo in HK. Black syrupy pour with foamy light tan head. Some sediment. Aroma is sweet, coffee, milk chocolate, alcohol. Taste is the same. Boozy. Slick palate. Not bad but not great.
