Can split at Happy New Years L42 Shim Sham, thanks to Fergoose, 12/01/17. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is caramel malt, orange peel, grains, bread dough, melon. Taste comprises caramel malt, bitter orange, melon, lemon rind, straw, biscuit, soft bread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a modest hop dusting. Adequate but lower end of the style in this day and age, old skool vibes, but Ok.

Can shared in London - thanks to Fergus. Pours clear honey-gold with a foamy, white head. Crackery pale malts in the nose, some hay, citrus peel, a little caramel. Medium sweet flavour with more crackers, biscuits, light jammy citrus, melon, low bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more crispy pale maps, ripening citrus, rindy orange. So so.

Can at level 42, thanks to Fergus. It pours hazy amber with an orange tinge with medium off-white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, bit juicy, orange, peach, Irn Bru, grainy action and resin. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, resinous, orange peel, icing sugar, peachy, Irn Bru, grassy, green and light alcohol with a dry, yet sweet finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not so bad.

Can from O’Brien’s, Athlone [261116]
Pitch black, frothy tan head, light lacing
Aroma of soft mint, hint of cocoa, slightly medicinal
Taste of soft mint, dark malts, some dark chocolate, good the mint is not overpowering, unusual
Palate - soft carb, medium body, good texture, light sweet malts, smooth. Finish of leafy mint, dark malts.
Overall - Unusual stout, the mint is more natural and leafy compared to the peppermint in After Eights. It works well enough - maybe a strength of 8-9% with more dark malts would get the beer even closer to the flavour?
