Half-pint, draught, shared with Finn at Boxcar Brewery & Taproom. Near-black in the glass, spotty lacing, dissipating off-white head. Inviting roasted malty aromas, scent of fruit. Fine balanced taste of mid-sweet malts and dried fruits. Roasted malt-dried fruity finish. Well bodied. Likable. (Bethnal Green, London 09.02.2023).

Can from Orest: pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is somewhat fruity, nutty, malty. Taste is somewhat sweet, low bitterness, not quite a normal mild taste but still good.
