Moderate sweetness and medium to heavy bitterness. Medium body, creamy sticky mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Rich, nutty finish. Enjoyable.

Can. Orange with a white head that doesn't last. Classic Australian lager aroma is slightly grainy and weedy. Clean. Moderate sweetness. Some cardboard, minor singed notes. Pretty bland before a discernibly bitter finish. Dry enough to work really cold.

Black, opague. Roasted malt aroma and flavor with grapes. Hints of coffee and caramel. Thick, but also a bit watery for its ABV. Lacks complexity, but the flavor is quite OK.
