Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - amber with a light lacy head. Nose - something akin to aniseed or liquorice. Then there’s a molasses dominant note. Taste - more molasses, getting the chestnuts for sure. General nuts. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture. Decent dry-ish finish. Overall - good beer. Difference between nose and taste.

Second beer of the mini-tasting I had with my son on Christmas Day 2016. 6.6% ABV, 500ml bottle conditioned: BBE of Oct 2017. Ruby hue to the body, beige head. Flavour and aroma had a Rye like undertone with roasted chestnut feel that had been dropped in a smoky Peat Bog. Tried to like it.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - red to brown. Nicely fluffy off white head. Nose - delicate redcurrant and cherry note. Immersed in sweet malt and gentle toffee. Taste - burnt toffee, extremely dry liquorice. Light savoury. Palate - close to medium bodied with a crunchy yet tangy texture and a long dry tangy crunchy finish. Overall - complex if a bit gnarly.
