Bottle from a farm shop somewhere near Windsor. Poured a hazy dark amber colour with a moderate off-white head. Aroma of malt, bread, caramel, a slightly nutty. Moderate sweetness and roasted bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, soft to average carbonation.

50cl bottle from the brewery. Poured a slightly hazy copper colour with a trace of cream head and light carbonation, leaving a hefty layer of sediment in the clear bottle; aroma of toffee and earthy malts; chewy, malty body with a touch of spice and caramel sweetness and citrus; then an earthy bitterness to finish, with a hint of citrus. Very drinkable.

Bottle at Chris_O London bottlefest March 07. Copper colour with slight haze. Disappearing off white head. Slightly musty, some nut, some toffee aroma. Interestingly syrupy flavour. Some wood. It’s alright.

Bottle, 5%. Weak, sour lambic-like aroma. Slightly hazy dark amber colour. Thin mouthfeel. The flavour is roasted with a little rough bitterness. The sourness is also found in the flavour, and not unpleasant.
