Not the L6 bottleshare. Thanks to the team, group purchase from Craft Beer Junction. Opaque black brown beer, small tan head. Smooth and slightly viscous palate, good fine carbonation. Incredibly rich dark chocolate malts. Spicy boozy mid. The mint is obvious on the back end and integrates well. Not quite the stellar base beer but delivers its own pleasures.

Can from Craft Beer Junction. Hazy orange gold beer, small cream colour head. Smooth palate, decent fine carbonation on the back end. Smooth malts, a mild creamy sweetness, nicely done for a brew like this. The El Dorado hops present as soft floral citric here. Light bright tangerine on the back end. Looking for El Dorado Sakura, it's there, mostly on the end, but less prominent than you might expect from a solo hop job. Whisper of hop spice on the close. A light and clean IPA that goes down easy.

Draught at Zeezicht, Breda. Clear yellow color, full sized white head. Smell and taste malts, sweetish hoppy, blossomy, slightly a herbal note oddly enough, malt and hop bitters in the finish. Hmm don't really like it that much. Mwah at best.

Canned (thanks God Of Thunder!). Black colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is lactose, some smoked and mild chorizo like meaty elements. Flavour is lactose, some smoked mild toasted tones and mild herbal tones. Nice balanced. Mild meaty tones in the flavour too.

Bottle split at the 2nd CBJ tasting, group share, 31/08/23. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a beige cap that thins edgewards. Nose is toffee, spice, chocolate, earthy fruits, brown sugar dusting. Taste comprises toffee fudge, dark fruit rinds, dates, molasses, mellow brandy barrel, vanilla, spice. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced cloak of booze. Solid.

Rated at Craft Beer Junction. Sweet and intense with coconut, barrel, rum, oak, vanilla, syrup and cocoa. Quite massive slow sipper.

16oz can pours out pink red color topped with a fizzy head. Nose is passion fruit dragon fruit some tartness. Taste is more of the nice tropical fruit combo and a sour tart kick some lacto also.

Bottle shared in London. Cheers! Pours clear, deep brown with reddish highlights and a small, foamy tan head. Medium to big sweet flavour with tasty malt character, some toasted toffee, stewed fruits, light berry notes, a nip of cake, and earth. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish, toasted malts, fruity notes, subtle wood, stewed berries, earth, bread, toffee, figs. Very nice sauce.

Craft Beer Junction bottleshare. Thanks to the group. Hazy deep amber beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, fairly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Good creamy caramel malts, but thin and dry. Spicy fruity bourbon, rich and rewarding.
