(Cask at Craft Beer Co Islington, London, 24 Nov 2017) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, hoppy nose with notes of black-currant, citrus peel, some pine needles and caramel. Malty, fruity taste with chocolate, citrus, black-currant, caramel and a balanced citric, piney bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Quite nice.

Craft Islington. Cask. Semi opaque dark amber beer, small pale tan head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Mellow dark malts, a little sweetness from them. Trace of dark chocolate and a whisper of roast. Light piney hop and berry fruits. Modest orange peel. Some candy fruits on the light finish. Pleasant! Plenty going on here.

On tap at Craft Beer Co, Brighton on our birthday week, Saturday 18th November 2017 just prior to gig by Lost Horizons at The Rialto Theatre. Pours murky dark brown with a slim filmy beige head. Juicy with a mid bitterness a touch of cocoa powder and a steady roasty touch throughout. Aroma is a little tame or muted perhaps but not detracting from what is a very decent beer.
