Bottle that was very kindly passed onto me from Thomas at Merton Winter Beer Festival 05.02.11 cheers Thomas consumed 09.02.11 Pours orange amber with a white head. Warming in the mouth but the first thing I really note is the harshness of the alcohol. This has a distinct bitterness, there is some sweetness there but then there is some bitter peel and a herbyness, however I’m forever drawn back to the big boozy harshness of the alcohol it’s a little raw and this may have been better had I not have succumbed to it so soon after being passed this. However I would like to thank Thomas big time for getting me this, cheers mate! A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1
