375ml can from Monster and Beer, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a hazy orange light amber colour, with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, tangerine citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a fresh, crisp, juicy, light tart orange/tangerine, mineral, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can. Black. A tan head of about a cm fades slowly to a coat. 3+ Aroma of Bourbon, praline, roast. Silky textured. The Bourbon is all over this with the nice dark chocolate of the normal version sidelined. The bitterness too barely registers. A little oak. One of those dirty glass wet barrel beers that for me is just a waste of a good stout.

Can from Yata in Sai Wan on home on packing day. Incredibly good deal in terms of $/rate beer score. Inky black pour with fine slight off white head. Almost opaque but not thick looking - brown on edges. Aroma is roasted bitter chocolate and dark black coffee with some sweet tart plum. Nice. Taste is similar. Balanced black coffee bitter with plum sweet, with alcohol warmth throughout. Sort of like North Coast’s Old Rasputin but with more plum sweet and less burnt butter. Very good. Palate is ever so slightly on the heavier side but with decent carbonation. Recommend! Especially at ~HK$100 for 4-pack!

Sheesh, classy name. Even from a brewery with a classy name. Can. Very dark red brown with a tan head that fades to a fat coat. Aroma of good dark chocolate, heavy roast, some praline. Rich with some coffee joining the chocolate, singed toffee, firm roast that stays away from burnt. Then sufficient bitterness to lift all that away. Fine balance. Straightforward and very nice.

Can from somewhere at home. Dark dark translucent ruby pour with foamy white head. Aroma is spicy earthy damp grassy hops with orange pith. Taste is grassy bitterness with sweet round malt with alcohol - very big and “red”. Palate is medium-heavy. Light carbonation with nice prickliness. Really good - highly recommend for a red ale.

(Can) Pours cloudy Amber with modest white head. Nice aroma - plenty of pine with floral and pepper notes. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Well balanced taste with plenty of hops giving a nice fresh start and crisp bitterness through the mid palate into the finish, over a biscuit malt with a hint of sweetness. Very drinkable.
