28/6/2024. Tap at Hive Mind Mead & Brew Co, Caldicot. Pours clear amber brown with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is chocolate, toasted, malts, dried fruits, wood, hedgerow, vanilla. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, a little watery, average carbonation. Not amazing but better from tap at source it seems.

Bottle. Nose is chocolate, whiskey, cherry, hint of marzipan and cola coffee. Taste is a complete non event; light chocolate, very light whiskey, spice, malt. There's no finish and no body. Thin. Surprisingly poor.

330ml bottle from Forest Deli, Coleford mid-way through a gravel ride through the Forest of Dean. Pours a dark, unclear brown, some bubbles but not enough to form a decent head. Taste reveals it's a bit flat unfortunately, some wintery spice coming through but not too much. Deep amber malt, soft whisky hints but simply lacks life which sees the flavours deflated from what it could be. Shame.
