7.4/10 Appearance 10 Aroma 6 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Has big beautiful foam on top of a milky yellow body. The aroma is mellow creamy pineapple. Flavour is total pina colada with soft beer on the back, this works even though it shouldn't. Good mouthfeel and full enough. This is unique and well crafted.

On nitro tap at St. Augustine's, pours a deep dark brown with a reddish tinge and a small tan head. Aroma brings out some harsh whiskey barrels upfront, with moderate toasted malt. Flavour is similar, with the whiskey barrels coming out in a somewhat abrasive and monolithic way. Not particularly complex or well-constructed, but it's okay.

On tap at the brewery. Has okay foam and a cloudy yellow body. Aroma is big juicy hops with vitamin C pills thrown in, as advertised, some fruity orange in there too. Flavour is good chewy vitamin C tablets mixed with a halfway decent IPA, sugary for sure. Mouthfeel has good fullness and surprisingly it's not too sweet. This is a nice experiment, very drinkable and not too overbearing.

Has great foam on top of a cloudy pink-brown body. The aroma is soft cherry mixed with cream, it does smell like the real deal here. Flavour is a good fruity creamy mix though there's no hint of the beer underneath. Mouthfeel is full and sweet on the mouth. It's okay but the unique flavours could be more prominent.

Has great foam on top of a cloudy light golden brown body. Aroma is perfect chewy pineapple and syrup with malt hints. Flavour is heavy sugary pineapply beer with cinnamon hints but somehow it works. Mouthfeel is good, full and sweet. This is a nice sweet beer for the girls in the house who hate beer but were somehow dragged down to Storm.

Has a great off-white foam and cloudy golden brown body. Aroma is soft citrus and nothing else. Flavour is sweet citrus and missing any pepperiness that I expected. Good fullness on the mouth. This is missing the excitement of their other beers.

Has good foam on top of a nice semi-cloudy yellow body. The aroma is sugary lemon with vague tomato hints. Flavour is great spicy tomato mixed with beer. Mouthfeel is medium and reasonably full.This one gets it right, good balance.

Aroma is juicy citrus with big brown sugar. Has a cloudy brown body with a bit of foam. Flavour is weak apricot overpowered by sourness. A little too watery on the mouth. It's okay but not up to Storm's usual standards.

Poured from the tap at St Aug’s. Black with off white head. Sweet chocolate, mild vanilla, a little bit of whiskey, hint of licorice, creamy texture, alcohol is there, but not overpowering, medium body. There are many better options in this style, but you still really wouldn’t be going wrong with it either. Decent.

Taster at Parallel 49 shared with Andrey. Dark hazy copper. Aroma is some sweet and sour fruits with tea notes. Taste is similar. No evidence of barrel aging. Lean body as for 12%. Maybe it is not bad beer but definitely a BAD BBA BW.
