330ml bottle from the brewery. Poured a clear golden colour with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is malt, herbal, fruity, light woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a light, slightly watery, malt, mineral, sweet porridge and honey palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Very unusual, but slowly started to grow on me.

Bottle picked up at Lidl Inverurie. It pours clear brown with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma is earthy, sticky, resinous, umami, savoury, canned beans and some sweetness. The taste is dry, touch of bitterness, oily, sticky, resinous, spicy, bit of rawness, canned beans, pretty savoury, soap and some bitter citrus peel with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A unique combo for sure. Not sure I would rush back though.

330ml bottle from Lidl. Clear copper with a thin off white head. Aroma is honey and caramel, flavour is sweet toffee with savoury notes which I assume come from the beans. A bit odd but not unpleasant

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Clear amber body with a thin off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of honey, kidney beans and toast. Flavour of wood and parma violets. Thin body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. There’s an unusual woody note to this. It’s fine overall.
