Tap at the Autobus, Singapore. Poured a mostly clear orange golden colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is grainy, light melon, herbal, the flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a smooth, somewhat light, melon, light earthy herbal palate. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation.

473mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has a sturdy roasted malt base, with very gentle hazelnut-infused cocoa. Flavour is rather artificial tasting in the hazelnut flavouring that was added, light cocoa, toasted malt, and some low-level artificial sweetness. This flavouring is not convincing to me. The base beer is decent enough, but it's ruined by the artificial flavouring. Not terrible, but this doesn't work overly well for me.

On tap at The Barley Merchant, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma reveals a pretty revolting whiskey barrel character, reminiscent of standard JD — basically nothing but cheap whiskey and a thin, weak malt base. Flavour is pretty vile, with revolting JD-like barrels. Totally ruined by the barrels.

Dark mahogany colour, compact caffelatte head. Aroma of chocolate and caramel. Good body, smooth mouthfeel; it's moderately sweet, with strong caramel accent; hints of vanilla; gentle alcohol.

16oz @ Ryan's shared with Alex (thx for the beer, man!) hoping that allergy effects won't affect my taste, hehe. Appearance: brown with a beige head. Aroma: chocolate, dark fruits, some roasted malts. Taste: along the same lines, caramel and charred oak notes, some grassy notes, low to moderately sweet. Finishes with some hoppy bitterness. Overall: pretty good.

Poured from 473mL can. Dark brown with minimal beige head. Mild caramel, sweet fruitiness in the background, feint oak character, okay.

Can: Poured a deep copper color ale with a large brown foamy head with limited retention and some lacing. Aroma of deep roasted malt notes with some blackberry and cherry fruity notes. Taste is a mix of fruity notes of blackberry and cherry notes with some roasted malt and some tart notes with some acidity noticeable. Body is about average with good carbonation. Lots of different flavors in this beer but less acidity may have been better.

473 ml can. Pours a dark brown with short foamy tan head. Aromas of dark caramel, chocolate nougat, and sweet roasted malts. Flavors of salty caramel, as advertised, plus nutty chocalate, vanilla, subtle charred oak, and more soft sweet roasted malts. Saltiness is quite evident especially in the finish, but overall quite good.
