Bottle ordered from Beautiful Beers, Bury St E. Aroma has pine, herbs, coffee. Opaque dark brown. Satisfyingly foamy beige head. Medium bitter. Pine, black coffee and liquorice but with a herbal and citrus streak. Tangy. It's the bitterness that flows through into the finish. Medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Average carbonation. Long astringent finish. Hits the spot.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Beautiful Beers. Pours deep brown with a thick, creamy tan head. Light-medium sweet flavour with notes of zippy-pithy grapefruit and lemon, sturdy roast, earth, cocoa, ash, burnt pine. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Hearty roast and baking cocoa to finish, citrus rind, pine, earth. Very nice.

330ml bottle, gyle no. 63, bought at Beautiful Beers. Shared with Finn, Travelodge session. Firm fawn-coloured head resting over a deep black body, spotty lacing. Prominent brown malty aroma, hints of ripe fruit. Mixed taste profile of pine needles, caramel malts, together with Voss kveik yeast. Has got a malt-fruity finish, slightly tart. Satisfying. (Hotel room, Cambridge 14.11.2021).

4/4/2021. Bottle shared at the first post-lockdown Ipswich beer share. From SHIG, cheers. Poured almost black with a small frothy off-white to beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, yeast, citrus, pine, chocolate, berry, cherry, toffee and rye. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Moderate body, soft carbonation. Ashy finish. Good.
