330ml bottle into glass. Hazy amber beer with foamy white head. Medium carbonation. Very faint nose of grain. Light body, clean slightly sweet taste. Short slightly sour grainy finish. Genuine easy-drinking quaffer.

330ml bottle at random place in North Melbourne. Into glass, pours pale amber with two finger frothy head. Light carbonation. Distant aroma of dough and fruit. Nice body, caramel taste. Finish is sweet with a touch of lingering earthiness.

Bottle, 12C. Amber with an off white head that’s soon a near coat. Some floaties, some sediment in the bottle. A whiff of Bourbon, but it moderates to reveal an aroma of bread, plums, butterscotch, spices - there’s an intriguing and unusual woody spice note that I can’t pick but like (possibly simply because it adds character). Lush, somewhat syrupy, lowish carbonation. Sweet butterscotch and bread, some Bourbon notes but happily they are accents (apart from vanilla and oak I guess, but even they aren’t anything like overbearing). Moderate bitterness, but it’s enough that the sweetness gets cleaned up. There’s a bit of warmth there too and it fits fine.
