Can from Aldi. It pours clear pale yellow with a fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, oak, savoury, salty, rich cracker, muted jasmine and pot pourri. The taste is Indeed extra dry, snappy, minerality, alkaseltzer, grassy, straw, floral, jasmine tea, dry oak, light tannin and some peppery spice with a drying finale. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Interesting and quenching. Nice one. Think I prefer this to the previous cedar version actually.

Bottle from the brewery's mail order service. It pours pretty near black with a reasonable tan head. The aroma is dark roasted malt, rich chocolate character, cacao nibs, chocolate torte, earthy, toasted nut, coffee, praline and burnt toast. The taste is smooth, dark roasted malt, bitter - sweet, earthy, coffee grounds, molasses, malt loaf, loads of chocolate, some umami, chewy liquorice, toasted sesame seeds, warming booze, light acidity and burnt toast with a dark roasted finish. Medium body and light+ carbonation. Best offering I have had from them so far.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours darkest brown to black with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet and intoxicating, huge almond character, biscotti, liquid chocolate, vanilla, toasted marshmallow, nougat, mocha coffee, rocky road and fudge brownie. The taste is initially smooth, rich roasted malt, slick, thick, toothy, chewy, sweet, plenty of almond once again, chocolate, bitter, cacao nibs, chocolate brown, coffee grounds, burnt toast, vanilla, rocky road, slightly charred, touch of umami and some boozey warmth. Fulsome body and moderate carbonation. Almond took me by suprise a bit... Not exactly balanced.

Can from Westhill Service Station (I think). It pours clear deep red - brown with a thick, pillowy white head. The aroma is fragrant, warming spice, clove, cola cubes, slightly metallic, nutty, almond biscotti, pear drops, melon and fruit crumble. The taste is firmly dry, some bitterness, slightly medicinal, herbal, damp grass, spice, dry oak, earthy, clove, nutmeg, dried fruits, fruit cake, pear, melon, leather, tannin, metallic vibes and boozey alcohol boost through the finish. Medium+ body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Commands attention for sure. Pretty punchy stuff overall.

Bottle shared by my bro. It pours deep ruby red with bubbly white head. The aroma is funky, tangy, bright red fruit character, raspberry, rhubarb, jammy, strawberry, plum, fragrant tea, damp oak and vanilla. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, puckering, fairly bright acidity but it dissipates, zingy, sour, raspberry, strawberry, rhubarb, damson wine, redcurrant, red wine, dull tannin, fragrant, granny smith apple, muted alcohol presence and lactic character with a dry, puckering finish. Medium body and moderate, bubbly carbonation. Bright and fruity. Quaffable and fun.

Can shared by my bro. It pours black with a sturdy brown head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, dark, decadent, heady notes of whisky, vanilla fudge, Scottish tablet, rocky road, gooey marshmallow, neopolitan ice cream, nougat, almond biscotti and some toasted fruit cake. The taste is smooth, rich, dark roasted malt, bitter - sweet, burnt toast, umami, charred oak, toasty spice, warming lowland whisky, toffee, earth, toasted fruit cake, warming booze, toasted nut, walnut, chocolate bourbons, cacao nibs and leather with a surprisingly smooth finale. Fulsome body and moderate carbonation. A very classy non adjucted BA stout. Rich, decadent, yet balanced. Not too sweet either. Very tasty.

Can direct from Tempest. It pours darkest brown to black with a decent dark tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, bitter - sweet, umami, loads of salted liquorice, liquorice allsorts, chocolate cake, burnt toast, rather savoury and earth. The taste is slick, thick, bitter - sweet, big hit of liquorice upfront which lingers throughout, salty, savoury, liquorice allsorts, salted caramel, toffee, dark roasted malt, cocoa, caramac, fudge, coffee grounds, mocha and fairly well controlled boozy warmth. Finish is as it starts bitter - sweet liquorice. Medium - fulsome body and average carbonation. An interesting imperial stout for sure. If liquorice is yo thang, this is for you.
