Light to medium sweet flavor with well toasted bread, juicy pine, some char, ripe grapefruit. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Big resinous hop finish, earth, moderate roast, toasty dark sugars, light warmth, some dryness in the end. Very decent stuff.

Bottle from Mr Lawrence, SE London - Pours dark brown/virtually black with a massive beige head which reduces slightly but never dissipates fully and leaves glorious lacing aplenty clinging to the glass. Rich roasted, toffee, cocoa chocolate malts combines with nuances of citrus hops, grapefruit, pine and liquorice notes as well. Lovely mouthfeel, smooth texture, amazing balance of sweet/bitterness on the palate. Seriously impressive stuff this. Beautiful.

330ml bottle. Pours very dark brown with a large head. Aroma is very meaty, with coffee beans and dark fruits. Taste is very beefy with dark fruits. Touch of alcohol. Oily mouthfeel.

Bottle at ChrisO Snow Tasting. It pours near black with a small tan head. The nose is light smoke, caramel, toffee, coffee grinds, faint meatiness and cocoa. The taste is roasted malt, light acidity, toast, coffee, dark fruit, berry, meat, dark chocolate, nice bitterness, hint of smoke and alcohol warmth with a dry finish. Medium-full body and moderate carbonation. Flavoursome, but pretty meaty indeed. Flavoursome nonetheless.

Bottle 0.33l at home (via alesbymail). Colour is very light brown with medium white head. Aromas and flavours are spices, ginger, pumpkin and some sweetness. Amount of spices is massive. Hard to say what to think about this beer. Label is one of the most beautiful and original I’ve ever seen. I had to store the empty bottle.
