Can. A light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, brief smooth start, good fine minerally carbonation quickly takes over. Smooth pale malts, a light but foward creamy sweetness. Alora hops in a dipa - yaaay. Crisp cooling pine into a soft Earl Grey Bergamot. The yuzu vibe is a modest accompaniment. Light smooth finish brings a hop spice nip. Good effort. Personally, I think this would have been top drawer with a less sweet malt profile but, that is a minor nit pick.
Can from brew export. Smoothie style thick body. With tart berry. The finish is a bit dry roasted peanut.

Can from Brew Export Advent Calendar. Pours a gloopy mauve. Thin white head latterly escapes to freedom. Aroma has an initial burst of berry, but seconds later the peanut butter hits. Spot-on aroma. Flavourwise we have the sweet jam and roasty peanut butter, and a sugariness. Sweet and umami with a light sour edge. Thick. Creamy with a pithy element. Lazy fizzy carbonation (to be fair it may actually be exerting some energy to push through the liquid). Long slightly dry and relatively astringent finish. I was suspicious of this beer but I really enjoyed it and it delivered what was promised.

Can thanks to cgarvieuk.
Appearance - murky purple to brown. Thin beige head.
Nose - berries and peanuts.
Taste - sweet grape that keeps going on, peanuts at the back.
Palate - medium bodied, initial tartness and then too sweet.
Overall - tastes a little artificial on the peanuts side and the grape side is too sweet for my taste in the end.

Bottle shared by ClarkVV--thanks Clark! Inky, motor oil, thick viscosity. Aroma is strong malts, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, milder coconut. Taste is strong chocolate, coffee, vanilla, later caramel, hint of coconut, mild bourbon. Smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Wow, this is really good! Well balanced and a really nice sipper to take some time with.
