Bottle from the Black Toad. Appearance - I carefully opened this one over the sink as the last one had been a gusher and had only left me with the yeast in the bottle. And hey voila, the same again although this time I managed to save around 60% of it. It is murky and brown with visible yeast floaters. Nose - burnt toffee, brown bread and honey. Taste - burnt toast and toffee. Palate - medium bodied, chewy and astringent. Overall - they have a problem with their bottling set up clearly. It must look, smell and taste better than this at the brewhouse itself.
