Pretty true to label. 440ml can. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is dark malts and coffee. Beer is just off dry, rich dark malts stout and nice coffee flavours, low bitterness. Not much caramel sweetness so don’t expect a desert stout.
Good.

Can, Pak 'n' Save, Queenstown. Yellow, medium white head, ok lasting. Medium citrusy nose with some sweet tropical notes. Moderate bitterness, grassy and dry. Lasting aftertaste, light body. Ok, decent hoppy brew.

On tap at Smiths. Pours hazy bright orange yellow, just like a hazy IPA. Orange, perfume, grapefruit, lemon, bubblegum, banana, bit of a papaya thing I think. Good soft body. Decent.

(On tap) Slightly hazy golden amber with tiny white head. Gentle aroma of biscuit and herbs. Medium body with good carbonation. Nice balanced taste of toffee malt sweetness and fruitiness in the start and hoppy bitterness in the finish. Very good.

Bottled, thanks baggio! Black, small beige head. Licrorice aroma. Dryish with full body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Light citrus, plenty of licorice. Roasty malt bitterness.
