Swing-Top bottle from Valhalla’s Goat. It pours jet black with a thick tan head. The nose is bitter-sweet, roasty, banana bread, booze, coffee and charred wood. The taste is smooth, rich-roast, coffee, cocoa, earth, treacle, umami notes, tar and ash with a dry finish. Medium-Fullish body and moderate carbonation. Quite drying. Not sure I could drink too much of it, but still not bad.

500ml bottle from The Beer Hive. Pours pale gold, thin white head. Aromas are butterscotch, stewed fruit, light overripe tropical fruit. Taste is far too sweet for me. Like a hybrid bitter/cider, but not taking the best parts of each.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. More carbonation than I’d expect from great German lager. Nose - lots of lime and sweetcorn. Taste - more citrus some honey and cornflakes. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet zingy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - good lager.
