Bottle ordered from Ghost Whale. Aroma is spicy and malty, with molasses sweetness and hints of booze. Dark amber brown. Opaque, verging on cloudy. Thin creamy translucent off-white head. Initial medium sourness - dark berries. This is there for the duration. However a malty sweet backbone then asserts itself. Bitter edge, more evident as I drink more. Thick bodied. Slick, oily. Flat-soft carbonation. Enjoyable rich stuff - reminds me of an English Strong Ale.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Clapton Craft. Pours clear copper with a frothy, khaki head. Medium sweet flavour with lots of bready malt character, almost gooey, some ripe berries, earthy bitterness, hints of pine, dirty leaves. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sturdy bitterness in the finish, sun-kissed grass, well toasted grains, brown bread, a little caramel, berries, leaves. Fun stuff overall.
