From a 330ml bottle on 30/11/2017. Pours an ultra clear deep golden with a medium head. There's lots of fruit in the nose with some herbal hops. In the mouth, there's light caramel malt, heaps of apricot, mango and peach and fruit jelly babies. It's bitter as fuck - the hops are big and medicinal (not necessarily in a bad way), and balance out the up front sweetness quite nicely. It's chewy and syrupy with modest carbonation. A full on DIPA which will leave more delicate palates reeling. But I like it. A lot.

330ml bottle into shaker. Hazy golden beer with solid frothy white head. Some lacing. Medium carbonation. Nose is biscuity malt. Smooth and easy drinking. Finish is lightly bitter with late dried fruit. Standard APA, nothing wrong with that!

Pours a deep brown with barely any head. The nose is lightly roasty and fruity, with a touch of chocolate and caramel, finishing with some distinct vinous notes. The flavour is really nicely balanced, with sweet dark fruit, some hints of coffee, chocolate and soy, a good dash of roasty bitterness, against a light vinous background. Fullish body with soft carbonation. I really liked this one. A very well made impy.

On nitro tap at Hart's Pub, pours black with a cream tan head. Aroma brings out notes of oats and bready malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of cocoa, a little lactose, and oats. Creamy and easy drinking for a stout. Decent.
