Half-pint, gravity pour out of a small plastic ’polypin’ at the brewery on 3rd Jan 2015: a free drink as I perused the shop/office shelves for the bottles I wanted to take away (12 actually). Ruby brown in colour, clear and clean: off white head with some lacing on the stemmed glass it was offered on arrival. The aroma was of caramel type malty molasses and some red berry/hedgerow fruitiness. The taste was also malty sweet and fruity with red berry to the fore. Very pleasant after a four hour drive and a beer I would happily drink again, and again.

Clear deep red - amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light, semi dry and mildly crisp. Mellow tangy malts, whisper of dry cream. Dried fruits bring more tang. Light semi dry finish. Is this the same brewery the makes GKHR? Hard to believe.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the brewery via Eebria. This was a bit of a gusher. Not hit the ceiling intense, but the stuff oozed aggressively from the bottle immediately upon opening and I lost about 200ml - some of which made it on to the dining table and some on the floor - before the gushing stopped. The beer is actually pretty good, not infected or anything. It pours clear, reddish brown with a creamy beige head that quickly fizzles away. Lots of bready malts in the aroma, some pleasant, semi-ripe berries, toffee. Medium sweet flavor with nice brown bread, some caramelised sugars, plum, cherry raisin, minimal bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet and bready on the finish with further ripening fruits, berries, plum, moderate toffee and caramel, just suggestions of leather and earth. I actually really like this one. It’s kind of like a session port of something. Shame it gushed.

Bottle from the brewery. Poured a clear dark brown with a thin off white head. The aroma is weak malt hop. The flavour is medium bitter with a caramel malt coffee treacle hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. There is lots going on here. A lovely beer.
