Wotever Next? A strong, dark and bitter beer. The distinctive dry finish derives from chocolate malt, Pilgrim and Cascade hops. A long fermentation leaves little sweetness behind.

Bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Coleshill. Pours a murky amber brown with large off-white head. Aroma of marmalade and lemon curd mix up, straw, pot pourri, sweetness. Taste of brown bread, orange, cocoa dusting, earthy hops, pepper. Medium bodied, light chewiness. Good.

500ml bottle from the Co-Op. Poured a clear chestnut brown colour, with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is malt, nutty, caramel, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, rich, sweet caramel, earthy, light floral, hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A great example of the style.

500ml bottle bought at Tanners Wine in Hereford. Shared with Finn. Pours a close-to-clear orange body under a filmy layer, lacing rings down the glass. Mid-sweet malt-fruity flavours, scent of chocolate. Quite similar taste of choco-caramel and leafy hops. Nice bittersweet tail. Pretty good. (Hotel room, Birmingham 02.02.2020).

Red brown color, hazy. Frothy head. Raspberry aroma with yeast. A yeasty vegetable-like bitterness overpowers all other flavors. Just a hint of fruit shining trough. Yeasty bitter aftertaste, not very pleasant. Not a drain pour, but all n all a disappointing beer.

Bottle at home, from the local Co-Op ... always keen on a Worcs tick as a low rated county, 04/02/18. Rich golden amber with a well presented light beige head that retains well. Nose is toffee, stewed fruits, baking powder, light orange peel, straw. Taste comprises light cocoa powder, toffee, fruit esters, brown bread, biscuit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with mellow bitternss. Decent enough offering and the chocolate malts certainly come through.
