A dialed up NEIPA @8%; thick as a smoothie, creamy, tropical & citrus fruits; pleasant bitter edge throughout; long finish for the style.

“A stout you can approach without too much trepidation”. They’re not wrong. Bad timing. Just when I wanted a stout that scares me shitlesss.

Holy Cow! How on earth did Dan’s think this was a beer worth six packing. Great idea on paper, but no dates, no pomegranate, thin body. Jez!

A NZ stout in a Dans GABS six pack is a nice addition. And being EPIC adds extra interest. Subtle creamy smokiness, cuddly, warming. Stouty

This local trad pub has recently gone large on craft; 20+ taps. Still, while listing the RBA version, it tastes like the regular brown.

I’m kinda over the NEIPA thing. Hesitant to order them. Reluctant to taste. Fool! The juicy fruit delivers childish joy & ABV wide grins.

Ah, the future is here: AI infused robots vs cephalopods. Today the squid wins easily, squirting fruity ‘ink’ into a willing recipient.

Nailed the raspberry, and the sour piece plays its part, but like most ménage a trois there’s a bit of third wheel awkwardness to the hops.

Not a flavour combo I’m use to; wheat base dominant, with rosemary most prominent on the nose & strawberry as long as Darryl’s rap sheet.

Tasty, roasty yet singular stout. Went great with a Monster Maxibon.

Held onto this for a tad too long and it’s faded. With bracket creep coming from big bodied fresh hop IPAs, some DIPAs looking lighter.

The beers taste fresher when your team is comfortably winning. Economical hop combo delivers bang for buck: all the tropical fruits & citrus

Out in the ‘burbs watching footy. Not the freshest example but the hop bitterness is spot on. Reason alone to Celebrate in late Autumn sun.

It’s not Frankie’s & pizza, but The Pourhouse & a Rueben. Amazing what the near absence of hops does to a beer; takes away the flavour.

Enticing black roast aroma. Softer than a politician’s promise on the lips, it builds some flavour depth with time. More peel required.
