Bottle at home in London - picked up at the Lab. Pours mostly clear ruddy brown with a thick, creamy beige head. The nose is all toasty leaves, crunchy grains, a dusting of cocoa and toffee. Light sweet flavor with a bit of lightly toasted brown bread, some ripening berries, grains, leaves, dried fruits. Light in body with fine carbonation. Decent balance on the finish, with further leafy character, toasty bread and grains, old berries, faint dry toffee. It ticks the boxes that it should.
