Bottled. Deep ambery brown colour with a small off-white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is caramel, some nutty notes as well as some mild spiciness as well as wood. Flavour is resin, wood, some nutty, carmelly and mild toasted notes. Very smooth and easy to drink.

Clear amber gold, with a touch of chill haze, a frothy white head and subtle sweet malt and floral hops on the nose. Light bodied, a little watery, sweet and floral with the tiniest hint of hop bitterness.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from Tahsin. Pours perfectly clear copper with a creamy, white head. Lovely stuff, nice fresh malty character, bready, subtle earthy hops, a nip of brown sugar, toast. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Balanced finish, more lightly toasted malts, brown bread, soft earthy bitterness. Just so drinkable.

Cask @ Churchill Arms. Ganska pigg cask det här. Hög sötma, hög fruktighet, låg bitterhet. Slinker ner men inget extra.
