My nightcap on 12th June 2015 after three other ’bird’ named beers. 330ml bottle: BBE Feb 2016, obtained from the brewery on a visit earlier this year. Poured slowly into a stemmed tulip (twice, got the size wrong) at home. Red hue to the dark brown body, the head a wispy off-white affair on both pours. The nose was like a fruit salad soaked in malty molasses a day too long for the cake mix, the taste similar in nature. Malty sweetness with a fruity backdrop which blend into a really interesting and deep flavoured beer, red berries push other fruit notes to the side, red wine/sherry like flavours come through as the beer warms a little: complex and very, very good.

Bottle shared at Craig’s. Mild gusher. Pours clear garnet with a creamy tan head. The nose holds lightly tangy, ripe fruits, musty leaves. Medium sweet flavor with hints of caramel, dried berries, grainy bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderate sweetness to finish with some earthy bitterness, leathery fruits, berries. Decent.
