Keg at the Lyric, Soho - London. Pours deep brown with a thick, tight beige cream head. The nose holds some cocoa, light roast, dark sugars and mellow berry tang. Medium sweet flavor with ripe fruits, berries, black currants, some milk chocolate, burnt toffee, ripe orange, modest bitter earth. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Earthy bitter finish with further ripe, sugary dark fruits, burnt sugars, soft roast and milk chocolate. Not bad.

Keg at Lyric, Soho. It pours near black with a medium tan head. The nose is roasted malt, toast, charred wood, earth, jammy berry and some sherbety citrus. The taste is bitter-sweet, roasty, floral, citrus peel, sherbet, pepper, sherbet, candy and charred wood with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate+ carbonation. Not a bad lower duty cda. Carbonation is a touch harsh which detracts a bit from mouth-feel. Decent start to this new brewery.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; black pour with a thin off white head, roast malt aroma, taste is a bit watery with a slight hint of citrus and pine, back up with a small amount of roasted malt.
