[9Oct] Bottle. Deep amber with a near white head. 4 Aroma of bright fruit and layers of toffee, chocolate and bread crust. Orange, grapefruit, gooseberry, lychee, pine. Highly reminiscent of the first batch of Mikk/ BridgeRd Dark Harvest. Just sweetish with bread, caramel and chocolate, oranges and some herbal notes build towards the moderately bitter finish. Hoppy amber is a hard sell for me: either the malt dominates and the hops end up stewed and brooding or the hops tear through and render the malt pointless. No such problems here. Good stuff. [3.8]
[30Oct] Leaving score as is, but has dropped off a little [~.2] in this short time.
