On tap at St Mars of the Desert - deep russet body thick white lacing head. Sharp citrus tang, thick malty bite, long bitter finish. One to savour.

Silver bullet, courtesy of Martha. Cheers! Pours a pretty murky very deep copper brown. Swede is a thick foamy and fully lasting off white delight. Body is grim, head is banging. Anyhoo. Nose has spicy rye like malts. Some cracknel toffee. Hops are super piny juicy and spicy. Charred pineapple. Sweet hedgerow fruit. Taste has sticky sweetness before a big piny fruity herbal bitter hit. Loads of body throughout. Very bitter finish lasts an age. Great example of the style.
