Warning! Early amateur rating! Dark beer. Initally a light touch of dark malts but then richer, chocolatey and with a minerally saltiness. Not bad.

Bottled. A dark amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma has notes of nuts, caramel, and nuts. The flavor is sweet with notes of nuts, caramel, and malt, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Beer Festival 2005. Red/ruby colour with lasting beige head. Good earthy hops, I quite like this. Bit of honey sweetness and good hop finish. Will look out for this brewery in the future
