The Travlr tasting at ChrisO’s. Thanks to Gene for all the beers and Chris for hosting. Hazy deep amber beer, big fluffy pale tan head. Light semi dry palate, modest fine carbonation. Thin tangy dark malts, mild dark chocolate and dark malt cream. Light tangy finish. Tangy, thin and dull.

Bottle consumed at Cropredy, Fairports Annual Reunion Festival 2015, Saturday 15th courtesy of Craig. Dark brown in colour with a small light beige head. A little roasty on the nose. Light maltiness in mouth, a little woody edge with a creamy milk chocolate finish, tasty mild for a style not usually this tasty. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Bottle. Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Slow gusher, which wasn’t expected! Lear, dark red. Loads of lumps. Thin, bubbly, tan head. Mild malts. Cherry stone. Light roast. Taste is woody, and ashy dry. Thin palate. Too much fizz. Finishes fruity dry.
