Bottle split at L42, thanks to Kenny, 13/02/18. Murky brown with a well presented beige cap. Nose is tarte dried fruits, sharp red berries, light funk, earthy notes. Taste comprises fruit loaf, toffee, dusty wood, red berry tang, dates, funky, leather. Medium + body, spritzy carbonation - a touch over for my liking but keeps this sippable, drying close. Decent quad.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Mitch. Pours unclear brown with a slim, bubbly head. Certainly some oxidation evident in the nose, a bit of toffee, tangy berries. Medium to heavy sweet flavour, some old carpets, toast, dried berries, lots of beaten leather. Full bodied, chewy, with soft carbonation. Warming finish, some booze, woody dryness, damp hay, old berries. Interesting.

Bottle at L42 - thanks to Ken. Gusher! It pours cloudy brown with a thick foamy tan head. The aroma is earthy, musty, bit of funk, oak, leather, dull vanilla, jammy, tangy berry and toffee. The taste is dry, bitter, oily, tart, vinous, berry skin, tangy, toffee, jammy filth, warming spice and warming alcohol with a dry, woody finish. Full body and high, foamy carbonation. Quite good fun. Jammy and vinous.

Gushy fucker. Opaque dark brown beer, big pale tan head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Airy malts, light creamy sweetness. Nice savoury tang. Mild brett. Good red wine, quite tangy. Little creamy caramel underneath. Smooth finish. Comes together very well, could drink a load of this.
