Bottled 500ml (AbM)
Amber color, medium-sized beige head. Aroma has caramel, chocolate, piney-resiny hoppyness. Light to medium-bodied. Caramalt base, a not toasted even, pine, resin. Very American brown ale. A bit darker version would be Black IPA. Allright hoppy brown ale, a bit simple.

Great use of c-hops. Pine and pith. Great bitterness. Lovely rye bread texture. Would love this with coffee and barrel-aged. Super. #sxshare

Keg at Bag O Nails, Briz. It pours hazy deep amber with a medium light beige head. The nose is fresh, bitter - sweet, toffee, cocoa, sweet orange and peach ice tea. The taste is bitter - sweet, earthy roast, coffee grounds, grapefruit, orange peel, tangy tangerine and earth with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Nice balance. Flavoursome and enjoyable.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 20/12/2015. Medium brown in colour, with a decent, off-white, head. Brown sugar, citrus fruit, a suggestion of toastiness and gentle finish with a hint of hop. Enjoyable.
