330 ml bottle. Pours a muddy hazy brown with light head. Aromas of dry brown sugar, dusty malts, and grass with some dark floral notes. Tastes the same with an acrid bitterness and without balance or purpose. 15

Bottle - Lots of strong dark sugary caramel with some date and a bit of raisin. Cloudy dark copper with a rich beige head. Dark and malty, very little hop profile and more like a Belgian with all the rich dark sugary notes. Interesting and actually not bad.

Hazy reddish-amber with the large, loose head characteristic of bottle-conditioned bitter. The aroma is caramel, toffee and light toast. Sweet, toasty and with caramel in the finish, along with a fair bit of yeastiness.
