500ml bottle conditioned, at home on 11th Jan 2019, one of the beers I had in a random tasting session with myself. Deep ruby body, beige head that hung around. Malty molasses in the aroma hint at a sweet tasting Porter with toffee and caramel leanings, and that was the case. Nice, smooth and fairly sweet brew that slipped down very easily.

Level 42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Colin. Hazy deep amber beer, tidy pale tan head. Tangy malts, some dark character and a little creamy sweetness but there is also a metallic note. Light finish. A bit wonky.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Cloin. Pours unclear brown with a billowing, off-white head. Musty toasted grains in the nose, earth, carpet. Light sweet flavour with leathery fruits, more carpet, earth, toasted leaves. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Earthy and leafy hops in the finish, very faint cocoa. Eh, iffy.
