Bottle shared at Christ’s post GBBF minidig 16/08/2014. Translucent hazed yellow/ orange coloured pour with a thin white head. Aroma is toffee, caramel, some sweet honey and a little berry hop. Flavour is composed of cardboard, stale malts, honey and caramel. Palate is caramel sweet, moderate carbonation. A bit too much age.
