There may not be another pint at a pub, but this bottle was bought at the brewery and drank at my house: Poured a mahogany brown with thin finger creamy tan head. Aroma is huge rich malt, fruity, toffee. Taste is fermented fruit, caramel, rich malts, some bitterness in finish.

Bottle at Craigs, medium bubbly creamy head, clear oxidized red color, aroma of wood, overipe oranges and minerals, flavor of wood and citrus with a noticable alcoholic presence, a hint of sweetness, a bit heavy. Nice, but nothing more.

Bottle from the dregs run, cheers Craig. Pours hazy amber with a thin off-white head. Aromas of toffee, marzipan. Taste is bitter up-front, then burnt sugar, toffee. Boozy. Burnt sugar dominates the finish.

Clear dark red beer, smells of dried fruit and malt. Taste is the same with some real toastiness to the malt, apple and toffee. Rich and tasty.

Bottle picked up from Eebria/Direct from brewery consumed at home Sunday 12th November 2017 having just cooking Lamb, Tomato and Anchovy Casserole with Cumin Aubergines whilst listening to Snapped Ankles. Pours reddy amber with a white head, quite a large head in fact. Tangy fruit and caramel combination, a little alcohol lift, hops seem a little earthy and robust but carry a little bitterness. Fine.
