Bottle via the online shop. Light haze on a pale-ish gold. Slim ring of white. Nose has dill and cucumber. Some vanilla like notes. Whiff of oak. Whiff of gherkin vinegar. Taste is a little sweet and a little dry. Nip of tartness. Refreshing and a just a bit juicy. Light tart juicy finish. Ace.

Can bought from the brewery. Dark and glossy brown stretching towards black. Frothy foamy tan head. Aroma is coffee led with a sour berry edge. Flavourwise it's has coffee and dark chocolate bitterness over molasses sweetness. Berry edge is more sweet than sour. Thick. Oily. Sticky. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Yummer.

Can bought from the brewery. Glossy opaque cola brown. Foamy beige head. Aroma is bitter with cacao and a sour berry edge. Underlying nuttiness. Flavourwise it's sweet with a bitter and sour edge. A nutty streak takes the edge off. Praline and booze. Thick and oily. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Good stuff. Could be too sweet but manages to avoid this pitfall.

Can thanks to Stuu666. Pours oily black with a thin tan head. Aromas of molasses and black jacks. Some higher booze notes. Taste is burnt toast, charcoal, faint bramble. Sweetens up at the end to a dark chocolate vibe.
