Can at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours totally clear gold with a lasting, creamy white head. Lightly sweet with sturdy bitter pine, grass, a little ash, toasted grains, tangerine peel. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Dirty grassy bitter finish, more sun-kisses grains. Not bad.

330ml bottle: BBE November 2021. Drank at home on 29th November 2021, just in the nick of time! Clean and clear golden body, lasting white head. Mild grainy nose and taste, there is also a mini fruitiness to the brew, all a bit 'subtle' but it's there if you want to find it. Can't get excited about this, but it isn't awful.

330ml bottle from Purple Moose shop, Betws Y Coed. Pours pale yellow, small white head. Pleasant AF overall, dry sweet fruity notes, but not jumping out as yuzu unfortunately. Fine.

Can from TK Maxx, Kingston. Aroma has instant coffee, some liquorice and boiled veg. Opaque darkest brown. Frothy bubbly beige head. Initial muted start - vaguely malty watery coffee. A sour edged coffee streak then burst in but it trips over and ends up face down in the watery malts, coffee and veg soup. Light bodied. Thin. Perhaps a tad creamy. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Other than a new tick why would anyone bother with an AF beer. Insipid stuff that just ruins the idea of beer.

330ml bottle. Misty gold appearance, small white head. Mild, fleeting um bongo to taste, but a fairly aggressive bitterness gets in the way. Ok overall.

330ml bottle from Dry Drinker. Pours pitch black with a decent tan head. Aroma of dry ashy roast and blackcurrant. Taste leans into the ashy dry roast with a woody bitterness. Quite a decent amount of flavour here, light bodied of course, off-set by the high carb. Nicely done.

0.33 l bottle from 'OnderNulPuntVijf', best before September 2021. Black with a medium large, foamy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty, maybe minimally smoky aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, toasted nuts and light ash. Slightly sweet, quite dry, gently roasty-malty taste of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, licorice, toasted nuts and light ash, followed by a short, gently roasty-bitter, dry, earthy, minimally smoky finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Too thin for my liking, other than that a decent Stout.
