75cl bottle at the 7th Match 2016 Shrewsbury Beer Exchange Group meeting: cheers Paulo for this. 11.2% ABV version. Really enjoyed this. Pours a true black, the head a lightly tanned affair. Nose and taste had liquorice, chocolate and coffee in equal measures all blending together within a smooth and rich body: the hops and malts married together very well with the alcohol level carrying the beer to a higher plane.

75cl bottle at the Shrewsbury Beer Share Group meeting on 7th March 2016, cheers Simon. Poured a hazy deep amber with a wispy topping. Nose was all about fruit esters bathed in yeast the taste brings more of the same with peach and apricots coming through for me: strangest ESB I have ever had, enjoyed it because it was different and interesting though.

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to Mr. 5k. Pours mostly clear gold with a frothy, white head. Nice fresh, raw orange peel in the nose, hints of lemon, wheat. Light sweet flavor with some rindy citrus, mellow lemony tang, more zesty orange. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Pretty clean on the finish, with light wheat, more orange, lemon peel. Really drinkable.
