Bottle. Deep, reddish-amber with a big, tight, off-white head and plenty of carbonation. Aroma of bready malts, some sharp citrus fruit and a hint of roastiness. Roasted malts were more pronounced in the mouth, with plenty more orange fruits, and a touch of woodiness before a dryish finish. Good stuff.

Bottle at home. It pours deep amber with a medium beige head. The nose is wood, toast, varnish, stewed orange, caramel and a touch of instant coffee. The taste is earth, wood, good bitterness, tinned pineapple, resin, varnish, coffee, peppery touch and toast with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Nice level of bitterness. Iβm pretty impressed with this one.

Bottle at Chriso Easter "Flags of many nations" Tasting, 31/03/13 thanks to Craig I imagine!?! Clear reddish amber with a thin beige head. Nose is light smoke, burnt toffee, medicinal notes. Taste comprises sugars, grain, dark toffee, smoke. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry in the finish. Drinkable but forgettable.

50cl bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours dark amber with a chink of red. Nice head. Nose of grapefruit, lemon maybe banana and hay.Taste of apples, cornflakes and a hint of toffee on the end. 7. The palate is towards medium bodied with a creamy texture with a tangy edge and a long clean finish.Overall, better than the sum of its parts. Really good!

Bottle. Clear amber body with a large off-white head. Average carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of earth, herbs and toffee. Flavour of sweet malt, citrus, wood and peppery finish. Thin to medium body with an oily texture. Soft carbonation. It tastes like a hopped-up Bitter.

Cask @ Dagda Bar, Edinburgh 270712
Dark golden brown, rich white head
Aroma - caramel malts, roast malts, some herbal spicy hops
Taste - caramel malts, some roasted malts, nutty malts, bitter grassy hops, bit of chocolate, hint of citrus in the background, hint of coffee in there, touch of spicy hop....this is quite a complex tasting bitter
Palate - soft carb, medium body. Finish a bit dry, as main flavour, pleasant linger of grassy bitter hop, caramel and light roast
Overall - Well this redefines βboringβ bitter - itβs surprising complex. Excellent work from Alechemy.
