Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Clapton Craft, as I recall. Pours mostly clear soft brown with a small, foamy khaki head. Medium sweet flavour with hearty bready malt character, toasted sugars, caramel, raisins, figs. Medium to full bodied, lightly oily, with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, somewhat sticky sweet, further caramel, toffee, brown bread, prunes, raisins. Really tasty overall. Drinks well for the style.

Bought at BD Tower Hill. Low key aroma: rich fruit and earth. Dark brown. Foamy translucent off-white head. Initial sweet edge to the light sour. Then a maltiness comes through followed by bitterness into the woody finish. Ideally I'd like to describe it as rich fruit and nuts. However it is really quite muted and, ultimately, muddy. The booze in not particularly obvious. Medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Soft carbonation. Slightly astringent. Hmm... was the original one I've rated as average? Had hopes for this but it's a damp squid, been out in the cold too long.

10/12/2019. Bottle shared at Craft Beer Co, St Mary Axe. Poured mid/dark brown with a large lasting off-white head. Aroma of toffee, rye bread, dark fruit, chocolate, touch of spice. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Full body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Good one.
