440ml can bought as part of a delivery from RAD Beer and drunk at home. Mid-brown with a strong reddish hue, clear with a quickly dissipating beige head. Sumptuous aroma of cherries, white pepper, cola, dried grass, light funk. Sweet taste, lots of spice, some almost souring woody notes. Fairly thick body, tannic, low to medium carbonation. Great stuff, a bit odd but all the better for it.

440ml can as part of a delivery from RAD Beer and drunk at home. Brownish Amber and clear with a quickly dissipating beige head. Toast, caramel, malts in the aroma. Pretty simple but gorgeous. Taste is out of this world. Sweet and bready with toffee and a slight astringency, which paves the way for a more balanced finish. Medium body with crisp but not overbearing carbonation. Impressive.

440ml can purchased from the brewery as part of their 6th birthday package. Drunk at home. The colour is a delicate gold, clear with a small loose white head. Lots of grapefruit in the aroma, with lime and gentle pine. Taste is quite bitter, lots more grapefruit hop here, also more pine, kumquat, passionfruit. Somewhat medicinal finish. Easy body with low to medium carbonation. Pretty damn good.

440ml can as part of the 6th birthday bundle from the brewery and drunk at home. Puce and hazy with a thin off-white/pink head. Gorgeous aroma of custard, berries and orchard fruit. Lovely! However the taste doesn't quite follow through as much, with a light sweet-sour and slightly medicinal in the finish. Watery body with medium carbonation. Pretty good all things considered but not perfect.

440ml can as part of a 6th birthday delivery from the brewery. (Their 6th birthday, not mine.) It pours very dark brown, pretty much opaque, with very little head. Chocolate malts, treacle, a little bit of espresso and maybe even some rubber in the aroma. Taste is sweet, chewy chocolate, caramel, salt liquorice.very boozy on the latter half of the sip within tense vanilla on the finish and some decent bitterness. It's soupy thick with very little carbonation. Impressive impy and setting the bar high for 2026.
