Keg at BD Sheps Boosh, 02/11/15. Clear golden amber with a moderate off white covering. Nose is a touch harsh, pissy fruits, glue, farty, dirt. Taste comprises caramel, dark fruit rinds, spice, biscuit, a big improvement on the nose. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So so, the nose really let this one down.

Keg at BD CJ. It pours opaque darkest brown with minimal head. The nose is earthy, toasty, autumnal spiced, pumpkin pie, dried fruits and toffee. The taste is bitter-sweet, warming spice, earthy, toast, earthy roast, mild acidity and damp wood with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit too earthy and woody. Not bad.
