Heaney initially launched four beers on the market in 2016 using facilities at Boundary Brewing.

Can. Darkest brown color with beige head. Aroma is chocolate, light roast, herbal, a bit fruity with cherries. Taste is chocolate, roasty, herbal, a touch chili flesh even (from the peppercorns I guess), a bit rosemary. Oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Alright!

18/3/2019. Bottle from Honest Brew. Pours almost clear amber gold with a small off-white head. Aroma of hops, fruit, sweet malt, light pine, orange and tropical notes. Medium plus fruity sweetness, light bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, above average carbonation. Increasingly sweet finish. Ok, nice aroma, but too sweet.
