473mL can, pours a clear dark amber with a medium white head. Aroma is full of raspberry and blackberry gummies andnsemi-artificial sugars. Flavour is light-to-moderate in sweetness, with lots of berry gummies, artificial sugars, ugh. I mean, you know when you buy something like this, it’s just a gimmick. Pretty piss poor stuff.

On tap at Storm. Pours a murky golden orange with a white head. Lacto, barrels, golden raspberries on the nose. Flavour has stonefruit, golden raspberries, gentle lacto, oak. Very light sourness. Not bad, not particularly complex, but works out well.

Medium brown. No head. A lot of alcohol and toffee jump out of the aroma. Nutty, some date notes, porcini, it's complex. On the palate, lots of alcohol but it's balanced with lots of sugars, again the mushroom, beef broth - so quite a bit of umami. The finish is hot, especially for a beer, but not unreasonable considering how much flavour and complexity there is here.

Foamed up like it's not good. Looks like murky amber ass. No head. Aroma does have some chipotle, but also it has mediocre fermentation and sadness. On the palate, it clunks. There's a poorly-made amber ale base and some rather mediocre chipotle layered over top. I fucking love chipotle peppers, and I am unlikely to finish this can.

473 ml can. A gusher on opening (minus points), otherwise pours a dark copper with little residual head. Aromas of muddled fruit, bready malts and a good hint of hot peppers. Flavors of stewed fruit, trail mix and bready malts with some capsaicin and a bit of smoke coming through in the finish. Disppointing.

On tap at Storm, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Nose has a boatload of habanero, with little else to speak of. Flavour is intense, with a humongous amount of habanero—this is insanely spicy, like no one would really find this mild. There’s some sweetness underneath, but this is pretty much all habanero burn. A fun extreme beer to drink in tiny amounts.

On tap at Storm, pours a deep dark amber. Town with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of bergamot, light toasted malt, and some gentle sugars. Flavour is odd, with almost a pot-soaked earl grey character, toasted malt, and a touch of sugars. Very strange pot-like essence to the tea. Odd.
