Tap at Brewdog LIverpool. Very hoppy, pine, grassy. Light biscuity malt after the bitterness fades. Nice enough

Bottle @home paired with veggie noodles. Pours amber with fair creamy off-white head. Medium body, soft carbonation, good lacing, bitter aftertaste. Toasted malts, caramel, toffee, citrus peel, maybe resin and brown sugar. Interesting ale, well balanced and easily drinkable.

2016 catch up - Bottle at home - It was a good brown ale, but I really couldn’t detect many hops. It had the sweetness that you would expect and a nice smooth mouthfeel, but that was about it. I had been looking forward to drinking this one and I was left disappointed.

Draught@Brewdog Turku (backlog). Deep brownish copper colour with a mediumsized beige head. Aroma is toasted malts, some nutty notes as well as some floral and mild wooden notes. Flavour is floral and grassy bitterness with some nutty and mild toffeeish malts to it. Long lingering bitterness in the finish.

Bottle at Brew, Beers and Ciders, Bangkok. Poured a clear dark brown with a thin broken off white head. The aroma is big grassy hop, some nutty malt. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a big woody resin hop bitter, light yeast palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. All about the hops and not really a brown ale at all.

W praktyce mocno slodowa, karmelowa ipa z chmielami sosnowymi, tropikalnymi i ziemistymi. Dosc ciezka. Nisko wysycona, goryczka srednia. OK
