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.

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!

Cask at Euston Tap. Dark amber/brown colour with small white head. Aroma is a bit stinky dish cloth funkiness and a bit malty. Taste is malty and creamy with an increasingly bitter finish. Slightly herbal element. Medium bodied and sightly oily and prickly in the mouth. Very nice.
