21/4/2021. Bottle sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers! Pours black with a small bubbly off-white to beige head. Aroma of orange, citrus, yeast, roasted malts, herbs, touch of ash and wet walnut with a hint of liquorice. Moderate sweetness and moderate sour. Touch salty. Medium body, soft carbonation. Tangy tart finish. Pretty good.
