Caramel, almost nutty, rich full flavour, but definitely a session beer. Straight from the tap it is pure heaven in a glass.

Pours a dark red with a beige head. Aroma is sweet, caramel with some grass. Taste is also sweet with caramel and grass leadng to a slight hoppy finish. Not bad at all

From 330ml bottle on 10/7/2011. Pours a red amber colour with almost no head. Has a modest aroma of caramel, toffee and fruit. Taste wise, it exhibits the same characters. Quite sweet with just enough hops to provide balance. Passable but far from remarkable.

Poured lovely red from the tap, however it was served far too cold, these guys are artisan brewers and they should know better. I could hardly smell anything on the nose and the taste was nice, if the beer was warmer then I could have tasted more of what the brewer intended. The customer shouldn’t have the sit there for half an hour for his/her beer to warm to an exceptional temperature.

Bottle at the Local Taphouse, Darlinghurst. Pours a deep red, with a small head. Aroma is quite biscuity, light berry as well. Flavours were quite few and far between, with mainly biscuity/bready malt with a tangy raspberry bitter finish. Not a lot going on with this one, one of the few bridge rd beers that i’ve tried that i havent enjoyed.

Poured nice. BIg white head. Red body ... slightly brown. tangy flavour. biscuit, malty. bitterness which gave it just enough to balance. Nice drink

first beer in a long time i poured out, there was a overpowering tangy bitterness, which was quite unpleasant.....

Pours hazy red/amber with off white head. Biscuity malt nose, no real hop aroma. Flavour has a biscuity malt body and very mild bitterness. There is an odd sourness - seems odd for a red ale. Quite pedestrian.

Bottle. Gushed a bit. Deep red with an inch of beige head. Aroma has a mixture of dark sugars and a little grass. Taste is fairly sweet with quite a lot of bite from the high remaining carbonation. Fizzy palate improves a little with a swirl, but this is still pretty dull.

Dark caramel / red colour. Nice thick beige head that dissapears quite quickly. Strong aroma of toffee or caramel. Not as creamy as I expected but still quite plesant. Definite roasted toffee flavour with a sweet, almost fruity after taste that seems to cling to the top of the mouth. Not a bad drop.
