repulsive stuff, could hardly down it, stank like crap, tasted better than it smelled, and thats a positive.

500ml Bottle. Bronze in Colour, well balanced with fruity hoppiness with subtle hints of sweetness. good beer.

Not bad at all. Dark colour, not much head, fruity and slightly burned taste. Bought a couple of bottles for my father-in-law.

500mL bottle. Pours clear golden brown with a small head that settles. Light floral hops on the nose with a little malt and toast. The flavour’s malty but not overly sweet with a little acidity and a bit of a burnt flavour. Light-medium bodied, soft carbonation but it still manages to develop a decent creamy texture on the palate, drying in the finish.

500ml bottle pored into a mug(due to all glasses being smashed from heavy sessionry) not too strong on the nose but in the mouth full flavours of toffee and caramel are present. The low carbonation makes it quite sessionable and one bottle leaves me wanting more.

Copper/amber in the glass with a thin persistent head. Caramel & toffee smells (nice). Nice malty flavours with a smooth mouthfeel, lingering bitterness in the finish. A little alcohol bite perhaps? In all a sessionable beer without being earth shattering.

Nice deep brown caramel tastes. Sweet but with a big grippy finish. Very nice beer. I am guessing this is the beer in Australia called Old Fart due to the number of Oz entries.

Bottle. Pours with a large off white head over a clear brown amber body. Aroma of fresh bread, caramel and with a piney hops notes. Toasty bread-citrus pine taste with both bitterness and sweetness evident in the finish. Medium to full bodied. Nice.

Bottle. Clear, dark amber pour with a bubbly white head that doesn’t last too long. Aroma has notes of caramel, mineral and grassy hops as well as a hint of soap. Flavour is almost the same except the maltiess is stronger and the hops seem a little fruitier. Medium to light body, with minimal carbonation and a short, mildly bitter finish. An ok beer overall but nothing special.

500ml bottle. Bronzed copper colour with an even tight beige head. Looks thick when poured and has an aroma of hops, malt and barley. Sweet taste and mild bitterness. Bit thin but okay and lingers on the palate.

Coppery amber pour, small but persistent head. Lots of caramel and toffee aromas, with resinous, earthy hops in the background. Some grainy notes bring it down though. Very similar flavours, with lots of caramel malt, some grainy notes, resinous hops and a mild but lasting bitterness. Carbonation is too high.
