Bottle. Between gold and amber with a fat coat of white head that hangs around. Strong bread, peat that just fall short of medicinal, bitter oranges, herbal notes. A big pale ale. The sweetness and phenols are just enough to hold the booze in check - just on the cusp of hot before it contributes to a drying and bitter finish. Interesting with a curious an original way of achieving balance.

500ml bottle. Pours an unexpected bright gold. Lemon, biscuit, toffee, sherbet, peat, honey. Bit unusual, and not in a great way.
