On a Flight at the brewery on 30th Dec 2017. Golden orange body, full white crown on top. Spiced oranges in the aroma and taste, semi-sweet, semi-bitter. Didn't find much Rye in the nose or flavour and no honey either (love reading the tasting notes after drinking the beer).

Part of a Flight at the brewery on 30th Dec 2017. Mahogany body, off-white crown. The nose was a malt molasses sniff fest, the taste not as sweet as the aroma indicated, more plum than jam, more tart than pie. Liked it. Was also available on Nitro, but didn't try it in that format. I did however have a pint of this after tasting the Flights, deciding this was the beer for me at Docent.

30th Dec 2017, part of a Flight at the brewery. Cloudy yellow pour, white head. Nose and taste is citrus bitter, Cascade, Nelson and Ekuanot hops used, so no surprises there then. Didn't really take to this: scored objectively.

30th Dec 2017, part of a Flight at the brewery. Black bodied, tanned head. Dark chocolate in the nose and taste, no Graham Cracker (who ever he is?) or dried cherry, but yes to the expresso in the tasting notes. A fine Imperial Stout all round. Rich and smooth body wise.

30th Dec 2017, part of a Flight at the brewery. Pale golden body, clear and clean, wispy white affair on top. Light floral nose, semi-sour flavour with a mild malty undertone. Nice.

30th Dec 2017, part of a Flight at the brewery. Golden amber with a white, wispy head. Like a lot of their beers this was hop heavy, tropical fruit esters filled the nose and the flavour had a citrus leaning in it's bitterness. A decent Docent!

30th Dec 2017, part of a Flight at the brewery. Amber pour, white head. Tropical fruits in both the nose and taste, some sweetness plays with the citrusy bitterness to produce a pleasant aroma and flavour. Liked it.

30th Dec 2017, part of a Flight at the brewery. Amber pour, beige head on top. Rye and caramel in the nose, taste dominated by the Rye, which eventually gives way to a citrus bitterness in the finish.
