Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass brownish, small head. Dry malty aroma. Starts fine malty, roasty, dry, a bit soapy-sourish. Bitter touch. Finish could be more balanced. Okay.

Minimal off white head left a collar on @ reddish brown still body. Spicy red berry aroma. Medium bodied, soft on the tongue with lighter clean back. Red berries, slightly sour, lightly hopped, rye & pale malt tastes. All a bit mixed up.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - a big gusher. Nose - red fruit, earth and biscuit. Hint of yeast infection. Taste - initial red fruit but then overwhelmed by yeast infection. Palate - tangy and off. Overall - infected so a drain pour.

17/2/2019. Bottle from the 8 Sail Brewery Centre. Pours amber with a large foamy off-white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, hops, fruit and berries. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Moderate body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Sweet, malty, fruity finish. Not bad.

Bottle. Brownish coloured beer with a strong foamy head. The aroma is yeasty with good hops. The flavour is very bitter and hopped with plenty of roastedness and dryness. Overall a very nice bitter. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
