Bottle from Beer52. It pours opaque jet black with a medium foamy tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, vanilla ice cream, icing sugar, marshmallow, cacao, cookie doughy and coffee cake. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, hard roasted malt, vanilla, toasted marshmallow, cacao, cookie dough, peppery spice, liquorice and burnt toast with a roasted finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Vanilla adds a nice element to it, without being that sweet.

33cl bottle at home on 11th Jan 2019 during a random tasting session with myself. Black bodied, wispy head; poured into my Gordon's thistle shaped glass it looked fine. The aroma lets you know there is some fire in the glass as your nasal hairs singe, sure enough the Scotch Bonnets attack your taste buds immediately completely taking over from the chocolate base of the brew. I actually enjoyed it!

It's certainly spicy, but it's not backed up with any other flavours. Thin as well. Disappointing.

Bottle from Beer 52. Appearance - cloudy yellow with a thin head. Nose - papaya up front. Mango and something citrus too. Taste - big papaya again. Ripe melon. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy middle. Nice taper on the finish. Overall - good.

hazy yellow beer, bubbly white head.Flavour is grassy hop with zesty citrus. Flavour is.... a bit..... meh? Citrus hop, not a heck of a lot else. Stops short of being watery and on a hot day? Yeah, at 4% you could happily batter through this. It's not one to write home about though.

Bottle from beer 52 some time ago. It pours pretty much black with a thick tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, bitter - sweet, baking cocoa, chocolate cake, coffee grounds, decent hit of liquorice and some lightly toasted spice. The taste is dry roasted malt, bitter - sweet, big liquorice vibes, milk chocolate, cacao nibs, filter coffee, roasted malt and some dark fruit notes kicking about. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. A perfectly reasonable porter. Decent.

Big frothy white head on light lemon coloured body. Zesty herbal aroma. Medium bodied sparkling to the fore with a clean back. Fresh tastes of lemon, zest, outdoors & spices
