Bonfires, Apples, and Toffees
We wanted to harness the evocative sense of the Somerset Autumn in a beer. With the last apple pressing days, dry leaves underfoot and the whiff of bonfires at every corner this beer sums it up, from sweet smoke, warming malt sweetness and hints of apple.
This is a beer to drink post barbecue, scarfs on, stomping against the chill and watching fireworks on a starry night sky.

Bottle at home, not sure where I picked this up. It pours dark brown with a small beige head. The aroma is rich, bitter - sweet, toffee, rather smokey, meaty, bacon frazzles, wood and cherry cola. The taste is dry, quite sweet upfront, cola, candi sugar, toffee, smoked malts, wood, applewood smoked cheddar, spice, earth, orchard fruits, raisin, dried berry and some alcohol warmth with a drying and woody finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Rather interesting, but a bit too drying after a while.
