Bottle at the second 42nd Floor Tasting. Cheers to Kenny. It pours cloudy deep brown with a thick light beige head. The nose is toasty, bitter-sweet, dark fruits, candy, sweet beetroot and blackcurrant. The taste is earthy, toasty, slightly watery, dark fruits, blackcurrant and throat lozenges. Medium body and fine carbonation. Interesting, but quite watery actually. I am not convinced.

Tower 42 Tasting 2. Hazy dark red - brown beer, tidy pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Mellow dark malts, touches of roast bitterness and dark chocolate. Mild floralness in to floral bitterness. Touch of something earthy spicy. Dry finish. A bit of a disappointment really. Beetroot hardly there.

Bottle split on the 42nd floor, thanks to Kenny, 10/11/15. Dark mahogany brown with a decent beige covering. Nose is rich malt, spice, toffee, earthy, mud, light beetroot strains. Taste comprises brown bread, earthy, biscuit, toasted brown sugar, root veg twizzle. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok, have had more prominent beetroot flavours in a beer bit pretty well balanced for the style.

Bottle shared in London on the 42nd floor - many thanks to Kenny. Pours unclear brown with a creamy tan head. The nose holds damp wood, faint toffee, leathery berries. Medium sweet flavor with rich bready malts, earthy bitterness, more leathery berries. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly warming on the finish with notes of toffee, ripe fruits, berries, leather, wood, earth. Not bad overall.

Bottle from cotteridge wines. Deep dark ruby with a very thin ran head. Aroma is earthy, malty, and a light sweetness. Taste is bittersweet balanced with a light sweet finish. Very drinkable.
