Can from the brewery online store. Appearance - cloudy orange to brown (mango colour). Big fluffy, slightly off-white head. Nose - mango, orange and light resin. Taste - big mango and orange pith. Light resin again. Palate - light to medium bodied. Fairly balanced bitterness. Overall - good, though I hate it when fruit takes over from the job of hops.

Bottle from the brewery online shop. Appearance - dark brown to black and almost opaque. Nose - hazelnuts and chocolate. Some biscuit and caramel lurking. Taste -caramel, hazelnuts, burnt praline and more chocolate, though lighter this time. Palate - creamy medium bodied. Light roast finish. Overall - decent. It is somewhere between a brown ale and a porter, probably.
