330ml bottle. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of dried fruits, berries, hint of chocolate. Taste is malty, dried fruits, berries, slightly sour, very bitter and boozy. Medium body, soft carbonation. Odd, totally unexpected flavours, doesn't seem right.

Bottle @ Højbjerg tasting 27 July. Pours cloudy very dar k brown with airy light tan head. Clear aroma of malt and phenole, with hints of yeast. Sour and bitter flavour with roasty notes. Acidic aftertaste. Well, not very enjoyable but a valuable county tick for me.

Cask. Shakespeare’s, Sheffield. Very dark, chestnut brown. Ring of loose, beige bubbles. Nose has caramel. Figs. Dates. Some dark chocolate. Some coffee grinds. Taste is sticky sweet, turning dry, and coffee grind bitter. Smooth mouthfeel. Quite drying. Doesn’t feel the ABV, particularly. Long, drying, coffee bitterness to finish.
