An intense brew first enjoyed by the British aristocracy during the Industrial Revolution. Already on the nose, you can feel the drink's thick core of lightly caramelized malts, which is refreshed by the resinous pine buds and the spooky wild rosemary. The tongue literally gets stuck in the maltiness, only to be rescued by the bitterness of the hops, all of which lingers into sticky warmth.

Bottle at puttetjes. Dark brown with light creamy head. Big sweet roasted malts, big rye, all kinds of leaves and floral adventures going on. I feel the juice and the excitement of the exploration in the beer. Also. Nudge nudge wink wink. It’s pretty alcoholic. But still. I see the low grow, the high grow, the fruit, the nuts, the earthiness. Hippie love trip. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pokainu Mežs on 18 Jun 2018 at 11:30 - Score: 8

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Clear deep mahogany with beige head. Lots of honey and flowers, toffee, caramel, quite sugary, sweet violets, strong herbs, spices, grass, thick sugary stuff. Quite sweet and really really bitter. Full bodied with alcoholic finish. It smells great but it’s really bitter and way too alcoholic. Bit of a mix between lovely stuff and barely drinkeable notes. Great aroma but hard to drink?
