Bottle from Mother Kellys. Aroma is very floral, sweet, perfume like. Sandalwood I guess. Taste has quite a bit of sweet fruitiness, liquorice at the finish, wood, perfume again. Quite different. Guess the barrrel is a bit overpowering. Not sure about it, but I think I like it. Can't stop thinking about aromatherapy oils.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Fergus. Pours clear deep gold with a frothy topping. Woody nose, with some orange peel, dry bread, perfume. Light sweet flavour with floral notes, some further perfume, soap, rind. Light bodied with fine carbonation, lingering perfume in the finish. Wouldn’t want to drink much of this.

Bottle split at Level 42, thanks to Fergoose, 20/10/16. Golden amber with a decent off white head. Nose is spice, perfume, straw, citric peel, floral notes. Taste comprises sweet malts, caramel, floral tones, hint of Turkish Delight, straw, tangerine, sweet grains, talcum powder. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok for style if a touch overly perfumed.

Bottle shared at the level 42. Canary wharf tasting 20/10/2016. From Beer shop St Albans. A clear amber orange coloured pour with a beige head. Aroma is fresh jammy fruit, po pierre, apricot jam, woody, soapy, raspberry. Sandalwood, floral, po perie. Palate is semi sweet, moderate carbonation, frothy, not bad. . Pretty weird though.

330ml bottle from Beermerchants
BBE 23/01/16 - Pours orange with a thick foamy head. Aroma of perfume, berries, caramel, yeast, earthy notes and sweet ripe fruits. Taste has perfumy notes, berries, ripe fruits, caramel, toffee and sweet yeastiness. Finish is stuffy, earthy and yeasty with some grassy hops, perfume, glue and berries. Messy and quite strange. Can’t get past the perfumy notes.

Flaske 330ml kjøpt på Piccadilly Tap Manchester. Delt med Rune på rom 229 - Royal Mercure Hotel Hull - 23 Nov 15. Gyldenbrun. Middels høyt skum som daler sakte. Mild såpearoma. Smaken forsterker aromaen. Helt håpløs. Litt bunnfall igjen på flaska.
