Can direct from BrewDog. It pours clear golden - amber with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, tangy, orange marmalade, gummy candy, tangerine, sticky, sappy and some grain. The taste is crisp, dry, quite snappy, pithy, zesty, orange peel, tangerine, kumquat, bitter - sweet, damp grain and marmalade sandwiches with a drying, tangy finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Doesn't feel too forced or artificial. I'm not saying it's great, but it is ok.

Can from Raynville Superstore. It pours crystal clear golden - blonde with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tangy, tropical fruit vibes, mango, green banana, fruit cocktail and tinned peach. The taste is initially smooth, then you get some bitterness/dryness right upfront, fruit cocktail, green banana, pithy citrus, green, weedy edge, grapefruit vines, peppery spice and resin with a drying, bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. I like the bitter snap to it. Moreish.

The taste is quite crisp and snappy upfront, bitterness builds throughout, fragrant spice and herbal notes, florals, touch of orchard fruits, bread, touch of sponge cake,nuttiness and cereal with a drying, bready finish. Medium body and moderate, lively carbonation. Hearty and satisfying. Does not disappoint.

Haven't seen his in the UK for years. Picked up at Tesco Danestone. It pours jet black with a thick, creamy khaki head. The aroma is soft, smooth, creamy, rich roasted malt, coffee beans, touch of milk chocolate and praline. The taste is smooth, rich roasted malt, toasty grains, burnt toast, coffee grounds, mild acidity, cacao, ashy, charred and peppery spice with a dark roasted finale. Average body, velvety carbonation and creamy mouth feel. Drinkers very easily. Decent macro Irish Stout, there is certainly a lot worse out there.
