500ml bottle from Woodfield Stores. Pours hazy gold, large frothy white head that sticks around. Lovely fresh, floral, citrussy nose with vibrant Ekuanot flourishes to taste, perhaps a hint of lemongrass and soft yuzu fruit sweetness. Really nice, and liking the direction Stonehouse seem to be heading in.

500ml bottle from Woodfield Stores. Hazy golden yellow, verging on murky with a proud head of rocky white froth. Aroma delivers fresh limey citrus. Crisp hoppy bitterness to taste with a punchy, pungent hop character, surprisingly hoppy for Stonehouse actually. Perhaps a hint of raw hop oil. Really rather good.

500ml bottle from Woodfield Stores. Pours a hazed yellow with medium white head. Creamy vanilla on the nose. Relatively light lactose and vanilla presence to taste. More mosaic would be welcome, and expected a creamier character which I'm sure presented itself on cask, but overall a decent effort from Stonehouse.

500ml bottle – Pours a jet-black colour with an average sized frothy beige head that settled. The aroma is rich roasted malts, black coffee and light smoke. A moderately sweet roasted taste, black coffee, roasted malt and vanilla flavours with a roasted and light smoky finish.

500ml bottle Woodfield Stores. Unclear golden yellow appearance, large white head. Wheat provides a nice gentle smoothness, Citra, Mosaic and El Dorado do the rest, some soft juice, bubblegum hints, grassy citrus. Not too hoppy, but nicely sweet. Veers close to Salopian's black label offerings.

500ml bottle from Woodfield Stores. Pours clear amber with a well-appointed head of white froth. Aroma has a firm sharp citrus bite. Definitely a pokey bitterness on the palate, bright hoppiness with a prominent amber malt base. A bit more going on than expected, but does have the odd nod towards a certain twigginess though the hop presence keeps this at bay. Fine overall.
