Bottle from Cork & Cask. Appearance - opaque black with a nice fawn head. Nose - mountain herbs or pine, basically a bit medicinal. Oh, it’s eucalyptus. Some cake mixture. Taste - burnt chocolate malt. Toffee, again burnt. Palate - medium bodied with a crunchy texture and a fairly balanced finish. Overall - everything has been burnt. Good though.

Tasting at Leighton’s Flat. Thanks to BenH and to Leighton for hauling back. Clear reddish amber beer, tiny pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry with mild fine carbonation. Mild dark malts but there is a whisper of roast. Pretty modest piney hops. Little dried fruits. Light semi dry finish. Modest bitter linger. A fairly laid back cda.
