0.33 l can, thanks to my family for this one. Pours hazy, deep golden with thick, off-white head. Nose is faint fruity and big, sticky resinous hoppy with some caramel and biscuity malts to it. The taste follows the aroma, but this time there are no fruits whatsoever only the piney side of hops. Light bodied (actually feels a bit too thin, despite the "normal" ABV), with average carbonation. Closes with medium, lingering bitter finish. Decent west coast IPA, nothing outstanding, but quite alright.

0.33 l can, thanks to my family for this one. Pours hazy, deep orange and white head. Nose is huge fruity bomb, mango, grapefruit, orange and also some pineapple come through. In taste it's somewhat less complex, bitter with a grapefruity hint and some sweetness, but I get no pronounced mango. Short, bittersweet fruity finish, light body and average carbo. Good one.

0.5 l bottle, shared with my dad. Pours deep, clear golden with thick head. Nose is faint fruity and some piney hops. Taste-wise it’s pretty dull, there’s some bitterness to it, but in an unsophisticated, messy way. Light body, average carbo. Pretty average.

0.33 l can, thanks to my family. Pours jet black with thick beige head. Nose is iced coffee, sweet and bitter, well balanced. Taste is quite similar, mainly coffee, but there's some sweetness to it too. If it didn't have this thin body, it could've been much, much better. Still not too bad tho.

Drinking this in the pub with the most Six-Nations Rugby flags adorning the walls and ceilings of all pubs I've been to since this year's competition began. It's a gritty sport and this is a gritty coffee stout, full-bodied but the coffee beans are strong and disguise this. Lots in aroma too.
