Bottle at home while making dinner. Got the temperature just right, good pour and a fantastic appearance in the tankard. Lots of malt flavours that are really well balanced with bitter hops. And a great and rich mouthfeel. There is a huge amount going on in this top beer.

Bottle from Bottles & Books. Clear ruby/brown body with a thin beige head that quickly fades. Low carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of Marmite, wood and blackcurrant. Flavour of cranberry, caramel and earth. Thin body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. A wonderful beer with depth of flavour that belies its ABV. I’d love to try this on cask one day.
