Bottle, 8C. Black with a light tan head that hangs around. Gentle aroma is roasty with barley and coffee, shellfish are there put not dominant - more like drinking a stout at the beach in winter than anything else. Medium bodied, silky texture. Not very sweet with coffee and chocolate. Vanilla, soft licorice. Slightly astringent, only a little briny. Firm bitterness at the end that’s a little woody as well as salty.

Bottle, Caulfield Cellars. Amber with a large off-white head. Aroma of nectarine, grapefruit, pine, biscuit. Creamy mouthfeel with low carbonation, slightly chewy. Sweetish with peach and biscuit, zesty citrus, less pine than suggested in the aroma, some pepper at the end. Modest bitterness - I would have liked just a little more. But a fine beer.

Bottle brought back by Wombata. Deep, rich gold with a nice, thick head. Big floral hop nos, grass. Fruity flavor with white Muscat grape, dirt, hoppy finish, light cabbage, slightly metallic. Big body for a light beer. Interesting as hell. Very unusual hops.

(bottle) Poured slightly hazy copper coloured with a ridiculous amount of head (even carefully poured). Aroma is a pleasant malty caramel with orange hints. Light body, overly fizzy. Flavour is straightforward malt to hops bitter. It’s no frills, not much else going on, but decent quality. Overall a no frills basic but reasonable beer.

Deep copper color. Subtle malty backbone with some soft hoppy notes. A bit heavy for a bitter but enjoyable.

From a 500ml bottle on 2/7/2011. Pours amber with a decent head. There’s lots on the nose, including cinnamon, apples, cherries, raisins, and cola. All of these are also present in the flavour. This is like a sweet, spicy Christmas cake in liquid form, and there’s just enough bitterness to make it work nicely. A very different, interesting and worthwhile brew.
