Refreshing Darkish Beer. Malt and caramel are the first characteristics with a coffee truffle aroma, liquorice roast develops. Hoppy throughout with a long bitter finish.

11/3/2022. Can bought direct from the Brewery. My Staffordshire rating #150. Pours clear chestnut amber with a large foamy off-white head. Aroma of toffee, malt, dried fruit, coffee cake, apricot, golden syrup. Medium sweetness, bitterness and body. Average carbonation. Lasting bittersweet finish. Usual chalky notes coming through. Pretty good.

Can from the brewery online shop. Appearance - deep brown and cloudy. Beige head. Nose - spiced cake and dried fruit. Treacle in there too. Taste - a nice mingled together flavours of treacle, raisins and cake. Palate - creamy in texture. Medium bodied, light roasty finish. Overall - good stuff. Possibly should squeeze into ESB category - maybe just strong enough but definitely has the complexity.

500ml bottle conditioned: BB Apl 17. Poured into a UK pint sleeve at home on 30th Oct 16. Obtained from some poncy ’Garden Centre’ craft outlet place in Staffordshire. Mahogany brown body, large and lasting beige head. Hedgerow fruits over a bitter, herbal base, coriander maybe? Certainly something added that’s not mentioned on the label. Liked it, quirky and different. Treacle toffee like sweetness mid-sip in with the herbal and fruity flavours. The finish is dry leaving a long hop bitter aftertaste, with that herbal twist noticeable right until the end.

30th July 2011>br>ChrisOs ’Donkey Dork Lord’ Pre-GBBF Tasting. Hazy dark amber beer. Good pale tan head. Light very fruity palate. Tangy fruit - apple. Ok malt background. Fruity finish with some minerals. A little too much apple.

Bottle at chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig ’11. It pours amber with a massive foamy white head and low carbonation. The nose is lots and lots of celery (off-putting to say the least) and some caramel. The taste is leather, wood, hay, grass, biscuit, cardboard and plastic, with a bitter-dry finish. Not for me.
