Bottle split pre Zwanze, thanks to Lorna and Paul, 20/09/14. Light black with a well appointed tan covering that dissipates then retains. Nose is roasty tones, plastic rising a little too much, liqourice, red berry fruit pangs, earthy hop, plastic cools off a bit in time. Taste comprises earthy hops, roasty, touch of pine, cocoa rub, bitter grapefruit, spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close laced with earthy hop bitterness. Decent enough CDA.

Bottle shared pre Zwanze 2014 - thanks to Lorna! Pours pours rich brown with a creamy beige head. The aroma holds orange rind, earth, mellow chocolate, grass. Medium sweet flavor with bitter burnt wood, grass, burnt toast, some ripe citrus fruits, chalky cocoa. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Nicely balanced on the finish, some scorched earth, baking cocoa, more orange rind, pine. Good stuff.

Bottle from Beer Gonzo. It pours dark brown with a small tan head. The nose is rich roast, potpourri, soap, orange peel, caramel and cola. The taste is bitter, rich roast, toast, earth, soapy, orange peel and pine needles with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A solid cda.
