Bottlshare at Mr Smith’s pad. Thanks to Leighton. Lightly hazy amber beer, short pale tan head. Light palate, smooth and semi dry. Decent fine carbonation. For a CDA the malts are quite pale and bring thin creamy sweetness. Dry pithy citric hops, some relief from smooth pine. A little fruit before a dry floral bitter finish. Any Earl Grey buried under the hops.Decent brew but lacks the darker malts of proper CDA.

Bottle shared at Leightons place 14/04/2016. Many thanks to Leighton for this one. Reddy amber coloured pour with a halo of dirty head. Aroma is toasted malts, piney citrus hop with a little floral note. Flavour is composed of nutty toasted malts, tart berry, earthy malts, pine, berry, a little tea leaves. Palate is medium light, semi sweet, moderate carbonation. Semi drying finish. Decent,

Bottle thanks to the guys at Belleville.It pours black with a thick tan head. The aroma is rich, bitter - sweet, sweet roast, dark chocolate, chocolate orange and earthy tea. The taste is rich roasted, bitter pine, orange peel, peppery spice, dark chocolate, dry, coffee grounds, charcoal and earth with a lingering dry, roasted finish. Medium + body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Rich and robust. Very flavoursome. Probably Belleville’s best.
