500ml bottle from Broom Hill Farmshop. Chestnut brown colour, tan foamy head leaving lacing and malty, chocolatey aroma. Taste is sweetish malt, roasty and fruity, with biscuit, molasses, fig, toffee, chocolate and some hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable

500ml bottle picked up at Grape and Bean in Hexham and shared with Finn on a train to Newcastle. A clear ruby-brown body, diminishing beige head, clingy lacing. Malt-driven smell with biscuit notes. Blended taste of chocolate malts, bit of ash, and joined by biscuits. Roasted bitter ending. Easy to drink. Likable. (08.02.2019).

Delt med Rune på tog fra Hexham til Newcastle. Mørkebrun. Lavt luftig skum. God nøttearoma. Smaken sjokolade. Behagelig. Lett tørr ettersmak. Kakao. Mere schwartzbier enn en bitter.
