(Draught at Kernel Taproom Spa Road, London, 23 Nov 2024) Reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, rye bread, black-currant and toast. Malty, hoppy taste with rye bread, caramel, orange peel, resin and a balanced citric/spicy bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Rich and tasty, with a spicy rye touch. Very nice.
