Bottle shared in London at Chriso tasting (May 2014). Cheers! Pours clear rich brown with a frothy, off-white head. The nose holds rubbery milk chocolate. Light sweet flavour, with notes of dirty leaves, vague cocoa. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Somewhat astringent in the finish, with some burnt toast and dry chocolate. Not great.

Bottle shared at Chrisso’s May 2014 tasting 25/05/2014. Red / caramel coloured pour with a lasting off white head. Aroma is coco powder, nutty malts and some caramel. Flavour is articial coco, powdery, choc and some stale spicy hop. Palate is powdery on the tongue and very highly carbed.

Tasting at the ever gracious ChrisO’s. Hazy deep amber - brown beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and light. Very fine carbonation. Mild dark malts, papery. Little tang. Artificial chocolate. Light dry finish. Bah!

Bottle at Chriso. It pours clear deep ruby with a thick light tan head. The nose is rich, roasty, toast, milk chocolate, candy, earth and lactose. The taste is toasty, earthy, milk chocolate, paper, peppery, citrus peel and not bad bitterness with a dry finish. Light-medium body and moderate carbonation. Not all too bad.
