Yorocco Ace of Space Dark Saison 5.5% Pitch black with a thick beige head and an aroma of dates plus chocolate. Soft with a round carbonation and a med-full body. The taste is savoury, soy, treacle, dates, figs, chocolate syrup with a mild saison character and some hearty roastiness. Very nice easy drinking stuff and the perfect capper to a day at the beach.

Billed as a Scottish, this is hazy amber, nice caramels, fresh malts, light brown sugars, has a well-balanced character. Good malt development makes this work.

Had this at Beach Muffin. This was a soft, well balanced ale with a lot of ginger on both the nose and palate.

Bottle from the brewery, June 2016 7/4/7/4/14. Nose if licorice, orange, lemon, chocolate brownies. Clear Belgian yeast character. Black, cloudy, with a lacy head. Rich chocolate flavors, spicy, citrus fruits, dry finish. Nice. Tap at Beach Muffin. Much richer flavors this batch, spice, licorice, chocolate, orange, some coffee. A bit more roasty than I like, but very nice.

Tap at Beach Muffin. Light toffee and malt on the nose although quite faint. Hazy chestnut color with a finger of head that lingers. Some prune, toffee and Milky Way (candy bar) nougat and caramel notes. Not sweet like the style should be and actually quite dry. Well-rounded body and mouthfeel. Slight lingering hoppy bitterness on the finish. More dryness. This is definitely a Yorocco scotch ale (not in the traditional sense) but really nice hybrid take on a traditional style. --- Beer merged from original tick of Malty Dew on 19 Jun 2016 at 16:26 - Score: 8. Original review text: Light malt and toffee on the nose. Fairly dry but nice Milky Way candy car notes on the palate. Light hoppy finish.

Tap at Beach Muffin. Fairly clear gold with a small white head. Honey and biscuit malt on the nose with generous whiffs of lemongrass and ginger. Medium light body and well-rounded mouthfeel. Lemongrass, ginger and honey really come out on the palate but are really kept in check and not overdone like so many beers with these spices. A pleasant, warming ginger flavor that lingers on the palate. A fun summer beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Daddy-O on 19 Jun 2016 at 15:38 - Score: 7. Original review text: Lemongrass and ginger forward spiced beer. Not overdone and fairly balanced.

Hazy pale. Fresh, mellow hop nose, apricot, and maybe pi�a. Soft body, very sweet pale malts, tropical hops, has a great balance, super drinkable, touch of bitterness late.

Bottle shared on the train. Thanks Davido! Brewed with the cultivator yeast apparently and the fruit is all over the nose: peach, apricot and light caramel pear. Coffee and dark fruit really jump out with lots of cacao notes as well. As it warms the fruit really comes out. More prune and peach. Body feels light and very drinkable for the abv. Dry finish that is well-rounded at not over attenuated. Great stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Black Sword IPA on 11 Jun 2016 at 18:44 - Score: 7. Original review text: Thanks Davido. Super fruity, cacao nib, peach, light caramel. Very nice.

Classic Yorocco house yeast nose with lots of fudge and nutella. Light bodied with average carbonation. More brownies and toffee with almond on the palate. Finish is dry with some light hoppiness. Great stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pleasant Brown on 11 Jun 2016 at 14:42 - Score: 7. Original review text: Yorocco house yeast, chocolate, Nutella, so complex. Dry and peppery hoppiness on the finish. Great!
