Bottled. Amber, with a frothy white head and slight carbonation. Stone fruit, caramel and cereal malt aroma with some leafy hops. Fruity flavours, with a touch of tartness, some ash and decent, bitter finish. Fine.

Bottle at a ChrisO tasting - London. Pours hazy, rich gold with a medium, foamy white head. Leafy, toasty malt nose with hints of honey. Medium sweet flavor, toasty dough, some grainy cereal. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderate leafy bitterness to finish, with more toast and dough. Really nothing to write home about.

Bottled. Dark chestnut in colour with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts, berry fruits and a hint of chocolate powder. Flavour had robust malts, a hint of caramel and some tart plum fruit, before a gentle finish. Very enjoyable.

Bottle from Craft Beer Rising. It pours very dark brown with a medium beige head. The nose is earth, toast, coffee grinds and cocoa. The taste is earth, toast, bitter chocolate, coffee, light soy sauce and burnt notes with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Fairly straight-forward and unexciting schwartzbier.

Cask at Tap East, Stratford, London. Pours clearish brown with a fine, creamy beige head. Some Belgian yeast in the nose, doughy brown bread, some tangy, ripe dark fruits. Medium sweet flavor with lightly toasted bready and doughy malts, bit of yeast and candi sugar, light earth, plums and raisins. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly sticky sweet to finish with some semi-sharp, tangy darkening fruits, brown bread, mellow bitterness. Nice beer.
