Nicer sweetness from the honey, but doesn't really have legs

Growler from the brewery. A little mango, lots of Belgian yeast character, little spicy, apricot. Really pretty tasty.

On tap at Brewers Cooperative. Caramel, apple, bitter orange. Nice, if not a gamechanger.

On tap at Brewers Cooperative. Pours reddish purple. Aroma is lactic yoghurt, bread, bit of red fruit, not great. Flavour is raspberry, boysenberry, lots of tart cranberry. There’s some bread and yoghurt notes here too but they play nicely as the undertone to the berries. Shame the aroma isn’t as well balanced.

On tap at 16 Tun. Aroma is big coffee and chocolate. Flavour has some more restrained coffee, with lots of milk chocolate. Really nice.

On tap at 16 Tun. Smells like heather and that’s maybe the best thing about it. Taste is medicinal plant matter and it’s flat and creamy too. Really quite unpleasant.

Casi negra, dos dedos de espuma beige no muy consistente. Rico aroma tostado con notas de chocolate. En boca ligera lo que la hace muy bebible, y lo mejor el sabor realmente rico con malta tostada y notas de café. Stout muy sabrosa e interesante. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap at Brothers Beer, Auckland, August 2014. A bit hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma and taste of lime, citrus, some spices and yeast. A bit strange to be honest.

Bottle, kindly shared by Miro, many thanks. Dark reddish brown color with medium off-white head. Nice hoppy aroma with caramel. Caramel malt followed by nice citrus hoppy kick. Long hoppy bitter finish. Went nicely with grilled meat. Good.
