Dark ruby red, with an orangey fruity malt character. The spicy, resinous, lemony Goldings absolutely sing through the beer combining beautifully with the malt, and the bitterness is powerful and lasting, punching through the residual sweetness.

Cask at The Colmore; Mahogany pour with a creamy magnolia head, aroma has fresh roast coffee and an autumnal fruit medley, mouthfeel is really smooth, taste has coffee, light bitter red fruits, some biscoff type flavours, this is excellent.

500ml bottle at 7.2%. Pours a clear dark ruby red, frothy beige head. Aroma of caramel and dark fruits, toasty/bready malts. Taste of caramel, nutty and toasty/bready malts, dark fruits, sweet-ish but finishes with a light dry bitterness. Light-medium bodied, really nicely balanced. Carbonation feels a little spritzy perhaps - bet this would be even better on cask.

Magus, mõru, karamelline, linnaseline, kergelt happeline ja nats tasakaalust väljas, aga siiski nauditav. Ok.

Cask at the White Hart Tap, St Albans 25/11/2024 Sweet toasted malty with notes of dark caramel and dark dried fruit shred, light brown sugar sprinkle, yeasty edge, light nutty accents, soft cask carb, lingering malty finish. Good stuff.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - brown and opaque with an orange chink at the base. Beige head. Nose - Jamaica cake, treacle sponge and malt loaf. Light herbal/floral note but very delicate. Taste - treacle going into milk chocolate, light Christmas spice and a bit of underlying zest comes through at the finish. Palate - medium bodied at least, sweet middle with a roasty malt and a citrus hop bitterness. Overall - great gear!
