Keg @ Tap and Can. Pours dark with a tan head. Crackin. Excellent flavoursome stout for the strength, nicely rich with a piney hop presence. Very good

Deep dark brown, near black, with a frothy tan head and a big fruity nose. Sweet dark fruit up front, some sweet coffee notes before a very slightly bitter finish

Sweetish, creamy and dankish with loads of vinous grapey Nelson hoppiness, tropical fruits, citrus and grapefruit, hints of pine and grass. Quite intensely hoppy but a bit unbalanced
