27th June 2015: cheers Rich for bringing this 2013 brewed beauty to the 2nd Annual Midlands tasting. Most likely the best for me at this years event. Loved the sweetness and alcohol kick along with the complexity of the flavours which blended together seamlessly. Oozes class and drinkability. Just a wonderful beer.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Daniel. Pours unclear ruby with a frothy light tan head. The nose has some lightly toasted wood, faint varnish, leather, old berries. Medium sweet flavor with lots of wood, tangy berries, mellow brown sugar, toffee. Full bodied with average carbonation. Warming finish with more woody dryness, slight oily pine, ripe berries, toffee. Real nice beer overall.
