500mL bottle from Molloy’s. Pours a tannish brown with a large rocky white head, some lacing on the glass. Caramel and toasted malt in the aroma, some floral or grassy hops there too. Sweet caramel and unbalanced hoppiness in the flavour, slightly off putting carbonation with a weird sourness. Finish is bitter with a late stage sweetness, a bit cloying.

Bottle from Drinkstore, Dublin [201214] 5/3/6/3/12 2.9
Caramel brown, clear, frothy beige head, slight lacing
Aroma of soft caramel, slight dab of ground coffee, weak aroma
Taste of caramel, soft toasted malts, brown sugar, slight sour note, dab of brown bread, little hops, mainly malts, rather dull
Palate - Medium carb and body, slightly sweet. Finish is a bit dry, more toasted malts, brown bread crust
Overall - Rather ordinary to be honest, bit boring. Down to 2.9.
Keg @ The Barge, Dublin [131214] 6/3/6/3/13 3.1
Caramel brown, slight haze, frothy off white head
Aroma of soft caramel malts
Taste of caramel malts, light toffee, some toasted malt in there
Palate - Medium carb and body, light sweet. Finish has some more toasted malts, dab of brown bread crust
Overall - Came across as a rather plain beer for the abv, certainly better as it warmed up, served too cold and fizzy. Cask would be better for this. Will review bottle soon.

Draught. Murky brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is light malt. Flavour is brown sugar, malt a little spice and nut. Dirty texture on a dry base.
