On tap at Beer DeLuxe Melbourne, pours a hazy amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out earthy hops and bready malt. Flavour is fairly bitter, with tons of earthy hops upfront, spiciness from the rye, and bready malt on the back side. Very astringent - the high IBUs aren't very well-concealed. Solid for what it is, but it is abrasive.

On tap at The Local Taphouse, Sydney on 16th September 2015. Thickly black with terra cotta declining foam and full lacing. Rich and intense roasty, aniseedy, cherry fruit aroma. Intensely roasty in-mouth with burnt coffee, a vanilla touch and Bourneville chocolate. Lingering coffee-flavoured roasty finish. Full-bodied with a smooth, yet engaging texture.

Can, 11C. Clear amber with a large white head that lasts OK. Aroma of toffee, pine, honeycomb, mango, passionfruit. Not as sweet as suggested by the aroma with a fair whack of bitterness at the end. The honeycomb bothers me a bit. Sticky bread crusts, some tropical fruit. Kumquats and pine towards the finish which happily dries out a bit along with the bitterness. Rambunctious hops but like their other strong pale ales, not quite me.

On tap at Hart's Pub, pours a cloudy amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings lots of caramel upfront, a little cloying sweetness and bready malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of sweet caramel and bready malt. Not especially complex and a little too sweet, but still reasonably well-constructed. Decent stuff.

On tap at Bitter Phew, pours black with a large brown head. Aroma is intense, with loads of roasted malt upfront, with lots of hops, and even some bitter dry cocoa. Flavour is really rich, with heaps of roasted malt dominating, with some bitter dry cocoa and fairly prominent hoppiness. Robust palate, with an intensely bitter and roasty finish. Excellent.
