Aroma of chocolate fudge. Glossy and dark. Thin foamy beige head. Chocolate and fudge. Spicy edge. Thick. Oily. Average if lazy carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Yum.

Cask at Pig's Ear. Keg at the brew bar. Near clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth light pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Light cooling pine into that resinous piney opal fruit vibe that is very redolent of the flash in the pan hop that Kernel trialled a couple of times. Decent resinous and complex hop fruity array. Light finish. A tad sweet overall but liking the resinous hop fruits.

Cask at Pig's Ear. Keg at the brew bar. Near clear dark brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Mellow dark malts, light creamy dark malts, a touch of dark chocolate. Mellow bourbon. A little barrel induced vanilla. Tangy bourbon soaked fruits on the back end. Strange brew, nothing wrong with it whatsoever and, yet, it fails to satisfy on every level. Light finish, some dark malt tang and slightly watery bourbon. Doesn't impress, but neither does it offend.

Can. Just a light haze on this slightly pale gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a thin sweetness. Slightly perfumey pine. Modest and slightly ripe lime. Seltzerish tropical fruits before a light and semi dry finish. A little scatty but quite drinkable.

Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, semi drying close with a subtle squeeze of lime. Refreshing enough thirst quencher of a logger-bier.

440ml can from 'The Beers of America' (thinking it was an American beer). Drank at home on 5th October 2024. Misty amber/orange body, wispy head. Citrussy nose and taste, fruity, piney and hoppy from start to finish. Boozy too!
