From a 330ml can on 2/7/2025. Pours a deepest brown with a small tan head. The nose is lovely - strong fresh coffee with a touch of smoke. It's complex on the sip - coffee dominates but there's lots of dark and milk chocolate, some smoky notes, and nice sharpish roasty bitterness at the back. Easy drinking for such a big bopper, and probably good that it comes in a little can. The palate is slightly syrupy, the carbonation average. A bold, flavoursome, excellent big winter sipper.

Pours.a slightly murky gold, from the orange juice I guess with a minor white head. Aroma is almost sour beer, fruit & perhaps the bitters. Beer is off dry, fruity and the bitters you can taste but there is almost zero actual bitterness. A fruit stile beer, easy to drink and probably greart in summer. Not bad even in the midst of a late autumn severe storm!
