0.5 l bottle @ home. Pours mahogany with beige head. Nose is spicey and malty, taste is quite similar with some surprisingly apparent bitter hops in the finish. Light to medium body, average carbo. Not bad, but nothing extraordinary either.

500 ml bottle from the lcbo.
Dark mahogany pour, big off white head. Dark sherry, bready malts, and quite a bit of spice. Perfect mouthfeel and carb. Good spicy bite, the finish is dry, and crisp, medium bitterness.

Bottiglia. Un arco olfattivo dominato dal sottobosco. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di caramello, miele, frutta secca, agrumi, erbe aromatiche e mandorla fresca.

Pint at the Kings Cross station bar while waiting for delayed train. I'd just been through a tough interview for a CEO role with the investors so this was deserved. Perfect pour with a really rich and inviting colour in three glass. It was perfectly kept so the flavour was great, with rich malts and some balanced hops. This was lovely for a freezing day in London.
