Cask at GBBF 2017, day 1 - London. Pours unclear brown with a fine, tan foam head. The nose holds Belgian yeast, berries, fruitcake, brown bread and toffee. Medium to big sweet flavour with more ripe berries, raw alcohol, toffee. Full bodied, oily, with fine carbonation. Hot finish, yet further oily berries and toffee. Aggressive but just about drinkable.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Hazy deep brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft smooth dark malts, some tangy chocolate and tangy dark fruits. Mild alcohol spice. Smooth finish brings a little malt cream. Not enough going for a beer this size but it’s okay.
