I had a 330ml bottle. This is from a brewery I have not come across before.
Appearance: good dark golden brown colour more tan than red tinge. Expected it to be more of a red brown colour than treacle brown.
Aroma: hard to place. No hops, just malty aromas. Touch of smoke and earthiness.
Taste: great mouthfeel. Low side carbonation as to be expected. Enjoying the caramels and malts in the flavour. Nice lingering bitter backbone. Very enjoyable.
Overall: good well balanced and flavoursome ale. A good find.

From bottle, Pours a slightly hazy copper brown with a beige white head that dissipates quickly. Malty and earthy aromas with some.wood and toffee. It's ok.

Purchased at bows in Port Sorell. Poured in glass from hotel room.
L- copper, creamy thin pale brown head. Slightly hazy.
S- caramel & slightly toasted malts & herbs.
T- breast malts, tangy bitterness in middle, taste of sppple toward end. Brief bland spot in there as well.
M- high carbonation for style, light bodied, smooth texture.
O- there is a bland note to the taste, but the strong fruity note to this red ale makes it a bit different.

Pours dark copper with a small, off-white head.
Rich malty aroma, showing nutty malt, brown sugar, bready notes and caramel.
Very malty flavours too, but less complex, mainly just bready malt.
Very watery body, and there's not enough carbonation either.

330ml bottle thanks to Joecast via the Australian BIF. Into a HopDevil shaker pint.
Pours with a fair bit of foam, almost 50%. Settles after a little while lacing on the way down. Mahogany and amber in appearance, a little opaque.
Smells of sweet malt and caramel, nice roundedness to it. Decent.
Taste is of bready and sweet malt along with a ever so slight citric hop flavour in the background. By no means American Amber, just a subtle English hop influence lurking. Slightly dry finish to it.
The high carbonation hurts this. Combined with the dry finish it makes the drinkability suffer as it gets a little raspy.
Nice flavour profile, would love this with some lower carbonation. Nice Tasmanian surprise packet!

Slightly hazy mahogany. Low carbonation. Head just covers the top surface of the beer.
Nice nose. Typical Irish ale yeast and dark crystal malt aromas. Soothing in a way.
Nicely balanced. Moreish malt sweetness. Just the right amount. Hard to say much more about it as its going quickly. Maybe it's a little too clean but I find it hard to knock for that.
Not really a style I have much of but damn this is a nice beer. Great character, delicate, and very drinkable.
