Sweet malt aroma with spices. Clear brown red colour with good head and lacing. Malt spice flavour with hops.Smooth palate.

On Tap at Napier Hotel in Fitzroy, Melbourne. This is a complex and consistent ale. Lovely copper colour, fragrant nose, smooth on the mouth. has become my tap beer of choice in said pub.

Beer tasting at the Brewhouse: Rich and smooth, deep copper coloured body, very malty aroma and flavour. A good beer that finishes just a touch too sweet for my palate. A good fireside ale in winter.

Quite pale golden with a white head. Outrageously sweet aroma, packet popcorn, white sugar, sweet caramel malt and a dash of hoppiness in the aroma. Sweet body too, not a lot of bitterness to balance it out, but surprisingly it goes down pretty smoothly. Flavors follow that same sweet buttery line shown in the aroma, bit more assertive on the hops though, some nice spicy notes coming through the finish. An interesting effort.

Amber with a small, weak head. Sweet maltose kind of aroma and a very sweet beginning to the flavour. Then there is a funky citric sourness with a light bitterness in the finish. It’s ok but not easily drinkable with that sourness.
