The colour was a very dark reddish brown-black, with a significant head. The aroma was malty and dry. The taste was strong smoky wood and malt, and light crisp balance. This beer was smooth with medium body. It won silver at the Australian International Beer Awards.

Note 1 I am not really a beer expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these beers. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2 You may not agree with my evaluation of these beers as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on freshness and intense characteristic flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
