Earl Grey tea lifts a robust stout with fragrant citrus and floral tones, while vanilla and coffee give the darker malt profile warmth and depth. Hints of lemon sharpen the finish, keeping the tea character clear against the roast. Serve cool with chocolate tart, vanilla cake, smoked pork, aged cheddar, shortbread, roasted nuts or a citrus-led dessert.

Lime, ginger, lemongrass and calamansi give the beer a bright, aromatic profile, with citrus and spice moving together rather than competing. The producer describes it as a refreshing summer lager, and the combination keeps the flavour lively and direct. The citrus accents stay clear while ginger adds aromatic warmth. Serve cold with Thai curries, grilled prawns, chicken skewers, papaya salad or fish tacos.
