The spirits of the forest are all flowing through this brew to bring you a bacchanalian delight of vim and vigour. Ruby coloured, complex and deliciously fruity. Pandemonium tingles on the tastebuds with flavour and body from the complex mix of malts and unusual hops used in its creation. A hedonistic beer, we are sure Pan would approve of.

Bottle from the brewer's own stall at the Dartmouth Food Festival. Reddish-amber with a negligible head and almost no fizz. Nice fruity blackcurrant whiff. Taste is bread dough, and a little blackcurrant and earth. Sweetish up front with a moderate bitterness in the finish. Feels a bit rough and amateurish, not up to the other beers I tried from this brewery. Still ok though.
