Bottle at a ChrisO Tasting - London. Pours cloudy amber-brown with a few bubbles for a head. Cake-like bready malt aroma, light spices. Light sweet flavor with hints of plastic, dark bread, faint cocoa. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Dry finish with more dark bread and toffee. Meh. A bit messy.
