Bottle picked up directly from Higgins and consumed Saturday 3rd January 2026 after a loop walk to Gasthof zum Sonnewald Schofweg. We had a Roast Chicken tonight it was fab'. We're listening to our albums of the year for 2025. Pours amber with great clarity with a slim white head. Dried fruits on the aroma, malty. Taste following a similar vein, light hoppiness, a little woodiness, fruity again, a touch harsh. Fine. Score 6.9

A clear amber beer with a white head. Aroma of dried fruits, strong caramelized malt. Taste of piney hops, wood, dried fruits, plums, boozy finish.

Bottle at Higgins. Clear brown. Raisin sweetness, wood, vanilla, herbal. Same for the taste, with a front heavy fizzy sweet start and a dry sweet boozy aftertaste.
