Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Cork & Cask. Pours mostly clear yellow-gold with a frothy, pure white head. Very tasty, lightly sweet, pithy lemon and grapefruit, pine needles, pale bread, relaxed bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Balanced finish, more citrus, clean pith. Really good.

Can at home. Has a dark brown to black colour with a very small beige head. Aroma of oak, tobacco, honey, dark chocolate, moss, liqour, currants, cocoa and port wine. Flavour of roasted malt, liqour, rubber, licorice and some dark chocolate. Lots of warming alcohol in the end. What a multilayered, and complex aroma! Has a slick and a little silky mouth feel, full-bodied and a light bitterness. Rich but surprisingly not very complex flavour.

440ml can. Jet black colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Sweet-ish, dark malty and fruity, slightly nutty aroma, notes of dark chocolate, hints of honey, tonka beans, pecan nut, plum, raisin, black currant, fig, maple sirup, whiffs of alcohol. Taste is sweet, chocolately, dark malty, fruity and slightly nutty, notes of dark chocolate, tonka beans, hints of cinnamon, vanilla, honey, dark honey, pecan nut, a touch of plum, fig, black currant, some rye spiciness; lingering, minimally warming, alcoholic finish. Surprisingly light body and rather watery texture with creamy and viscous strands, smooth and cloying, carbonation disturbed palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Relatively well hidden alcohol, surprisingly light due to the carbonation, complex but homogeneous; a tad too turbulent to be a soporific sipper - delicious.

Can. Unclear yellow golden body under a small white head. Mild aroma of oranges, tangerine, and grapefruit with hint of alcohol. Taste has rather dominating alcohol sting and less fruit flavor with a sharp bitterness. Body feels a bit thin and short in aftertaste. Not to pleased with this one.

440ml can. Sweet, a bit heavy and sticky with some maple syrup, coconut, vanilla and cocoa, some coffee and roastiness. Okay.
