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 conditioned, 500ml, best before the end of Apr 2011, drank and reviewed 18th Jan 2011. The beer was poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard: bright amber body, clear with minute bubbles rising up the beer to the impressive off-white foaming head. Some good lacing produced as the beer level sank down the tankard. The smell is malty, with hints of yeast esters and fruity hops. The taste is a nice mix of bittering hops and sweetening malts. Really well balanced, the alcohol content hardly noticed, which indicates a good beer to me. Only in the latter stages of the mouthfeel does the alcohol begin to rear its head.

Bottle @ Joes Tasting shared with Joes and Dutchdrebus. Clear dark copper, nice white head. Smell light hops, a weird strawberry-like sweetness. Taste sweet, light bitter, lightly fruity. Soft tingling carbonation, medium body. Pretty decent.

Bottle from Tanners Wines, Hereford. Deep brown and slightly hazy, with a big and rocky off-white head. Aroma of stoned fruits with a yeasty edge. Flavour had some sweetish fruit, a hint of chocolate and a decent bitter finish. Unusual and ok.
