[bottle from farm shop near Looe, Cornwall] Bottle conditioned. Looked translucent and was slightly viscous on pouring which made me slightly scared of drinking it. Initially pleasant with a lingering bitterness, but the flavour was unmemorable.

500ml bottle. Amber/chestnut, lasting beige head. Some brown malt. It’s a brown bitter. It’s fine, good fullness in mouth, good dry malts. Bit of earthy hop. Bit of white grape flavour. Decent BCA bitter.

Bottle at Kook’s Leaving Do at Chris_o’s. Reddish brown. Lasting beige head. Some smoke on a rather pleasant malty aroma. Very good condition in mouth, carbonation sweetish malt and then dry finish. Prickly on end. I really like the malt on this. Dry and rich.
