Bottle from HOTM. Pours a clear dark brown, with small off-white head. Aroma is nutty, roasty malts, brown sugar, light floral hop. Taste has less nuttiness and more chocolate compared to aroma but broadly the same. Not picking up much if any orange peel listed on ingredients which is a shame. Clean tasting, easy drinking. Decent overall.

Bottle with Saturday lunch because why not! Lovely rich and dark colour in the glass with some lacing. The taste and mouthfeel is that of a dark beer that is well made and very pleasant. Maybe slightly over carbonated, but a perfect lunchtime pint.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours clear, red-brown with a small, foamy tan head. Light-medium sweet flavour with notes of toasted bread, some whole grains, a little earth, leaf, dried berries. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more dry, toasted malts, earth, a little English yeast, hint of dry toffee. Tasty stuff overall.

Danke an minutemat. Trockener, röstmalzig herber Antrunk. Süffig, steigend bitter, geringe Würzigkeit. Das Röstmalz steigt an, unterliegt aber der Bitterkeit. Nett. 9/10/10/11/9/10
