Very creamy beige coloured head stayed well on a jet black still body - looks so appetising.... Strong dark coffee, slightly burnt, oats & dark berry aroma. Medium bodied, airy on the palate & slight tingle on the back leaving a clean aft. Burnt coffee, light citrus, brown sugar & malt followed by a very bitter tangy finish.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - orange brown with a very thin head. Nose - caramel and toffee. Light chocolate even. Taste - more caramel, some resin and oranges. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - this is a brown ale in my opinion. Maybe a hopped brown ale. It's good though.

Bottle from Barrica Wines, Botany Bay. Pours clear amber with a thin off-white head. Aromas of caramelised orange, toffee. Taste is fruity, orange, sweet, nutty. Hoppy amber rather than ipa? Nice though. Full of flavour.
