Wake and Cake
Hawkers Beer

440ml can, best before 27/08/2021. Pretty extensive ingredients list on this one, including coffee, hazelnut and coconut then aged in a whisky barrel as well. Poured into at tulip.
Look: Dark black, but not much head, less than 1cm of tan head which quickly subsides to a little around the edge of the glass.
Smell: Even when opening the can, there was a musty kind of nuttiness that you could smell from ages away. A closer sniff gives sweetness and coffee, like a coffee liqueur, there does seem to be some coconutiness in there as well. There is a slight roastiness in there, and a touch of something that I am assuming is the whisky barrel. Interesting, if a little sweet smelling.
Taste: lamington straight away, chocolate and coconut, sponge cake, underneath there is a little coffee. As it warms the barrel comes through a little more, as well as the slightest touch of heat at the end. As it warms, a touch more roastiness comes through towards the end, as well as a nuttiness that I would attribute to the hazlenut. I quite like it, but I like lamingtons.
Feel: Full bodied, mouth filling. A little carbonation at the back of the palate, not a lot of bitterness as it is on the sweeter side, though has a slightly dry finish and a good length.
Overall: Very tasty. I quite enjoyed it, though I think 440ml is a bit much. I would have been happy with a 330ml bottle myself.
