Can at home in Hackney - picked up at Brew Testament, South Hackney. Pours clear burnished gold with a creamy, light khaki head. Does what you would expect, really. Nice rounded malt character, some caramel, lightly toasted brown bread, burnt honey, little to no bitterness. Medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Subtly sticky in the finish, more rich lightly toasted malts, brown bread, toffee. Drinks pretty good, in fact. I think this is a great ABV for this style of beer. It has some sweetness, but not the intensity it would have at a few percentage points higher. Good stuff.
