We've paired traditional malt flavours and soft English hops with a bold blend of blood orange zest, sweet maple syrup, brown sugar and spicy tonka beans (obviously). The rich and complex grain bill of Pale, Special B, Amber, Light Crystal and Cara Gold malt creates layers of caramel, raisins and biscuit with a bright, smooth finish. Collab with Vault City.

Хорошо, но слишком тяжело, прям как будто стаут пьешь. Есть сахар карамельный или типо того, только это выдает барлик.

Tap at Billies. Deep amber. Tonka, vanilla, sugar, boozy, soft berries, raisins, soap. Very sweet, medium bitter. Full bodied. Not my thing at all.

Magus, linnaseline, karamelline, tummine, suhkrune, vahtrasiirup. 30+ kraadi jaoks paras õlu, tõmbab seest ka soojaks. Ok

330ml can. Cloudy, brown colour with ruby shimmer and slightly late awakening, small to average, frothy, diminishing, dark beige head. Spicy and minimally citrusy fruity aroma, caramel malty background, notes of tonka beans, a touch of orange, mandarine, orange, a touch of maple syrup. Taste is sweet-ish, caramel malty, spicy and citrusy fruity, initial notes of tonka beans, caramel, cinnamon, some maple syrup; refreshing, zesty notes of blood orange come in; reign the middle part and fade out slwoly in the last third; lingering, sweet-ish finish with mildly bitter remnants of blood orange zest.
Creamy to viscous texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate, fine, dense, soft carbonation.
Very nice composition, maybe not completely balanced; very nice (and most welcome) refreshing effect due to the blood orange, tonka is reliably tasty - pretty good.

Keg at BD Castlegate. It pours clear deep muddy brown with limited head. The aroma is brighter than expected, zingy, tangy, blood orange, marmalade, pomegranate, maple glazed donuts, toffee, Yorkshire pudding, brown bread, mellow fudgey vibes and savoury Tonka. The taste is slick, oily, chewy, toothy, mouth coating slickness, pithy, zesty, bright citrus vibes, blood orange, grapefruit cordial, kumquat, toffee, fudge, maple syrup, pancake batter, Yorkshire pudding, slap of booze, some acidity, spicy edges, brown bread, hint of vanilla, dry earthy vibes, tannin and burnt toast with a warming, spicy and zesty finale. Fulsome body, lightly carbonated and slick mouth feel. Bonkers stuff. The blood orange actually lifts it. Good depth. Novel.

Draft at the brew tavern Nottingham. Slight murky brown colour. Sweet from the maple. Some balsamic. Tart. Rich and dried fruity. Mmmm.
