Bottle shared in Richmond - many thanks to Daniel. Vintage 2012. Pours clear, rich gold with a slight, creamy white head. Interesting aroma, some rich bread, ripe citrus, earth, orange, faint metal, grains. Medium sweet flavor, lightly musty, with tangy berries, some farts, very slight acetic notes, sugary bread. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming in the finish, with further tart fruits, hints of vinegar, bread, earth, leather. Quite novel stuff, but just a little rough.

bottle from Tuckers Maltings. Deep Amber colour with a tan head. Stewed fruit aroma taste is lightly sweet, with a thick body and alcohol warmth.

Bottle drank on hols in St Ives. Clear amber beer with a small off white head. Smooth dry palate with very modest carbonation. Sweetish caramel. Brandy like alcohol provides an evaporating dryness. Touch of dried fruits. Dry and slightly gum numbing finish. It passes muster but is clunky.

Dark caramelised sugars on the nose, butterscotch, sweet candied sugar, dried apricot, prunes and dates. Tastes slightly sour, dark bitter fruits, burnt toffee. Full bodied with minimal carbonation.
