Craft TCR bottleshare. Thanks to Fergus. Opaque dark brown beer, good pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Slightly thin dark malts, some dark malt bitterish tang. Tangy dark fruits. Tangy coconut. Tangy bitterish wood. Light finish. Hmmm, a little disappointing to be honest, thin and tangy and ultimately unsatisfying.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Fergus. Pours deep brown with a foamy tan head. Interesting, had some citrus notes, ashy roast, bent wood, earth. Medium bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish with burnt wood dryness, bitter cocoa. So so.
