Poured from 440mL can. Very dark brown with small beige head. Lots of coffee, cinnamon, hint of tequila (the agave gives it a bit of a green note). Okay.

Dark brown. Not much head. The aroma has a fair bit of coffee, though the base beer is rough and there's some vegetal cactus type notes in there as well. It's got a unique character where the tequila sort of conflicts with coffee, but then doesn't conflict. The base beer is good, but not great, it's more the treatment that makes this worth drinking.

440mL can, pours jet black with a small light brown head. Aroma has tons of dark roast coffee, some light green peppers, subtle tequila barrels, and a touch of cinnamon. Flavour has plenty of agave/tequila, intense coffee, a hint of cinnamon, and some dark sugars. Tons of agave, tequila and big coffee on the finish. A bit harsh but well-made.

From a 440ml can on 19/6/2024. Poutrs a cloudy light golden with a small head. The nose is sharp, zesty and citrussy, with mild tropical undertones. Tastes of passionfruit, melon, lemon and white grape, finishing with a firm grapefruity bitterness. Silky mouthfeel with average carbonation. Unusually bold for an oat cream but really impressive. Will get again if I can.

pitch black color. A lots of going on here, raspberries, oak, whiskey, smoke, peat, very Low carbonation and bitterness. Sweet full body. A bit too much random things going on and peat and raspberry isn’t an optimal combo. It’s not bad

Can. Black with a tan coat that fades to the rim. Aroma of strong bread, stewed fruit, singed toffee, hints of citrus and stonefruit. Oily, medium low carbonation. Rich with singed toffee, bread & perhaps dark rum before pretty strong bitterness. Spicy at the end. Light fruity notes are swamped. The finish cleans up the richness that comes before but doesn't rush in. Not that sweet. Big, but alcohol is pretty well integrated. Very good. Appreciate they haven't reached for a wet barrel here.

Can. Almost clear amber with a near cm of white head. Subdued aroma of kumquat, breadcrust, pine. Malty but with breadcrust rather than caramel. Pine and some citrus towards a long, fairly bitter finish. Well in date but perhaps the aroma didn't pop due to age. But still pretty nice and worth another look fresher.

Can. Golden amber. Clear with a rapidly fading white head. Mildly funky, somewhat floral aroma with crackery dough, peach and grapes. Just medium bodied, lightened by highish carbonation. Crackery dough, peach, the drying skins of grapes helped by a little bitterness. Hard to say whether there's a hint of sourness. Nicely balanced, food friendly.
