Bottle shared in London - cheers to Kenny. Pours deep brown with a creamy beige head. Nice aroma, ripe dark fruits, burnt wood. Medium sweet flavour, some earthy hops, dried berries, toffee. Full bodied with fine carbonation, warming finish, more toasted toffee, dried fruits. Good stuff. Great stuff in fact. Nice depth.

Craft Angel. Dan's 10K boostfest. Hazy deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft dark malts, little bitterness but also nice woody cognac with a little dry red wine. Smooth semi dry finish leaves a medium spicy bitter linger. Good.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Clear, dark cola brown. Messy, lasting, beige head. Nose has sweet oak. Raisins. Old Jamaica chocolate. Soft funk. Brown sugar. Dark cherry. Taste is sweet and estery. Plenty of vine fruit. Gets dry, and lightly tangy. Silky mouthfeel. Soft carbonation. Bit of twangy puckering. Vinous, vanilla sweet finish. Super tasty, rich and creamy. Another blinder of a BA beer, from a brewer that maybe gets a little overlooked.
