Bottle at Chrisoโs Pre-GBBF Shindig, 2012. It pours cloudy golden yellow, with a thin white head. The nose is dough, light spice, straw and citrus pith. The taste is dough, spice, leather, caramel and golden syrup. Medium body, fine carbonation and well-hidden alcohol. Lacks the body I expect from Old Chimneys. Not much to it really...
