T42 tasting on me Birfaday. Clear deep amber - brown beer, decent tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry. Reasonable fine carbonation. Mellow dark malts, mild dark chocolate. Trace of paper. Little floral bitterness. Bitter dried fruits. Tangy dry finish with a spicy bitter linger. Seems like a UK hopped CDA.

Bottle thanks to Kenny at level 42. It pours deep brown with thick light tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, varnish, orange sherbet, charred pine, cacao, dark fruits and cola. The taste is roasted malt, bitter, charred wood, light ash, soapy citrus, cacao nibs, toasted nuts, sweet toasted brown sugar, touch of alcohol, minerals, flint and cheap no brand cola with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and high, foamy carbonation.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Kenny. Pours deep brown with a foamy, light khaki head. The nose holds toasted pine, earth, flowers, orange peel. Light sweet flavour with lots of minerality, dry pine, faint cocoa, toasted bread, light grain, more citrus rind. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with nips of resin, earth, wood, cocoa. Just OK overall.
