Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Cork & Cask. Pours mostly clear rich russet with a billowing, foamy khaki head. Lightly sweet, some dried berries, earthy and leafy hops, a little yeast, dirty biscuits, toasted grains. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Decent balance to finish, mellow Toasted malts, fruity accents, soft leafy bitterness. Nice one but way over-carbed.

Cam from Westhill Service Station. It pours chestnut brown with a decent off-white head. The aroma is nutty, earthy, biscuit, brown bread, floral vibes and some spice. The taste is dry, bitter, floral, peppery spice, juniper, touch of black tea, nuttiness, wood, touch of underlying sweetness, dried fruits and resin with a dry, spicy finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Flavorful and satisfying. A well made bitter.

Can from Cork & Cask. Hazy amber body with a thin off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of nuts, bran flakes, fruit pudding and dried leaves. Flavour of raisins, biscuit, spice and lightly roasted malt. Thin to medium body with a slick, watery texture. Soft fizz. Earthy and bitter. It’s fine but lacks the moreish, easy drinking quality of STF’s best beers.
