Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours a dark amber with a slight haze and an off-white head. Yuck, another smelly feet hop aroma! Light body, fruity, berry-like flavours, dry and slightly tart. Ends dry but not really. 180311

Bottled. A Deep red beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes of dusty hops, wood, mold in a good way, caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemon, yeast, fruit, with an odd edge, leading to a lightly tart finish.

Bottle picked up in a mixed box from the brewery, cheers Nigel 09-07-10 consumed 21-07-10 Pours dark amber with off-white filmy head. There are unripe hazlenuts on nose and some tangy fruit along with some dark sugar. Taste is nutty, little earthy and the nuts I got on the nose I get in the mouth, green cobnuts, some fruit and a little bitterness runs through. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3
