Bottle shared. Dark brown color, lightly a dark red glare coming through, full sized beige head that lasts for a long time. Smell and taste malts, nicely hoppy, nicely bitter. Quite balanced I’d say, a good balance between the hops and the bitter anyway. Lingering bitterness and maltyness. Not bad, but I don’t get citrus in there.

Bottle, from the brewery, consumed on the train to Windsor 26/07/14. Light black with a moderate tan covering that retains. Nose carries a trace of plastic, earthy hop, pine, bitter citrics, liqourice, spice, red berry fruit roulade, the plastic dies away but lingers a little. Taste comprises earthy hops, light cocoa powder, no plastic in the flavour, tangy red berry, earthy mineralisms. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, earthy hop bitterness in the close. Ok CDA, let down by the plastic on the nose, gave me polystyrene burps!
