Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Dark mahogany pour. Some froth with medium lacing. A big bold porter, but very smooth with no bitterness. Coffee and chocolate comes through in the awesome flavour and I do believe there is a hint of fruitiness on the palate as they suggest in the tasting notes at the bar. Roll over Fosters! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Notes of lemon, honeydew and honey in the aroma. followed by a heap of grapefruit on the tongue, with a little Tang on the sides of the tongue and hints of coffee and chocolate. Absolutely lovely. I love Mornington brewery.

From a 330ml bottle (from the Miicro Beer Club with an uncommercial, home made looking label). Pours a very cloudy dark golden with smallish head. The aroma is primarily caramel malt with some citrus fruit. This is quite flavoursome, with strong fruity notes (lots of tangerine and some lemon against a caramel malt background. Has a sharp, long, quite refreshing bitterness. The body is quite full. Not a typical ESB but still pretty good.

Pours dark amber with a small, lasting head.Nose shows tropical fruit, mango, lychee, floral notes and a lot of caramel and toasty malt.Similar flavours but not so much fruit. Lots of caramel and toasty malt along with piny hops and a hint of soft fruit.Too much carbonation.

Tap. Just hazy orange with a modest white head. Not convinced it was poured to its advantage. Aroma of pears, oranges, apples, grain, spices and the barn. Sweet and sour fruits with rather modest bitterness. Sourish dough, light cheese, vanilla, pungent coriander and white pepper. Didn’t love the fruit and the balance wasn’t quite there, but the feral tartness is exciting.

Well, isn’t this just a whole lot of hoppy goodness? I’m yet to taste a Mornington Peninsula Brewery beer I didn’t want to fill the boot with, and this is no exception. There’s not much hint on the nose, which is predominantly pine and caramel with a floral overtone that I couldn’t quite place, of what’s to come. The first mouthful is quite the outrageous hop-led assault: there’s some caramel which quickly gives way to grapefruit and pine which rip down the middle of the tongue and give a long, lingering finish. One for the diehard IPA fans.

From a 330ml bottle on 17/1/2012. Pours a slightly cloudy dark yellow, with a big, thick head. Has a zesty lemony aroma, with a touch of spice. The flavour is typical for a wit - banana, bubblegum, coriander, citrus, with a bit of bread pudding. This is a pretty good wit, just slightly over carbonated.

From a 330ml bottle on 15/1/2012. Pours a murky very dark orange with a small to medium head. Has a strong and pleasant aroma of peach, apricot and passionfruit, with some piney hop notes. In the mouth, there’s a light sweet caramel malt and a barrage of stone fruits (particularly peach) and some orange marmalade. But it’s definitely hop oriented, with a huge, long resinous grapefruit bitterness the most distinct feature. Has a relatively thick texture.This is very good US style IPA, which is just a little bit different and perhaps more intense than the norm. .

Tap. Cloudy yellow with a modest white head. Aroma of lemon Eno, some herbs. Characteristic Mornington pleasantly restrained carbonation. Barely sweet with a crisp finish. Lemony and herbal. Dominated by Sorachi Ace and not for me.

Tap. Clear gold with a small but lasting white head. Aroma of peach, apricot, grass, a little dough, hints of spices. Fruit and hay with balancing bitterness, some spices. Nice warm weather quaffer that wouldn’t scare anyone who wanted "just a beer" but also offers nice fruit and balance.
