440ml can from Middle Farm, Firle. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a short-lived fizzy white head. The aroma is grainy, light orange citrus. The flavour is moderate to light bitter and sweet, with a light, slightly watery, mineral, light orange citrus palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Not my favourite hazy IPA, but perfectly drinkable. Probably not entirely suited to cans. Maybe a cask version would be more appropriate.

440ml can from my kids on Father’s Day! Poured almost black in colour with a short-lived, fizzy dark tan head. The aroma is roasty, light sugary, chocolate. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, rich, roasty, chocolate, fake sugary, boozy liquorice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. Nice, but it’s purely liquorice and booze. Millionaires Shortbread? Not in my can. This is becoming a familiar issue with Tartarus. Their stouts are rarely as described.
