Interesting pour this, a fair bit darker than expected particularly given the conciliatory abv. Nose is of nuts but also some sticky sugary notes, slight sour citrus to balance. Not quite what I was expecting all round, but not bad nonetheless.
Taste-wise there's a nice nutty presence but also a little bit of sourness and almost metallic sort of character that limits full enjoyment.. it's fine beer in itself but you're left longing for a softer palate to avoid any jarring notes. You're looking, in short, for Rogue.
It's a short review but it feels to be honest like a 'shorter' beer than most everything else from Kooinda. Far from bad - but in a context of frequent brilliance from this stable, just a little off the pace. 7.0
