Medium, whitish head over metallic golden beer. Rather oppressive nose, weyish, with asafoetida, lupulin, resin, citrus. Again asafoetida, if less, with citruspeel, citrusoil and resin. Really very bitter, astringent, almost chemical. Quite slick, creamy from the head, quite well-carbonated, oily. On the agressive side, no? Oakgalls instead of hopcones used? Txs to Stef!

Cask at Lodge, Alsager. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small foamy tan head and good lacing. There’s a strong aroma of roasted malts and coffee. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy with beery fruits to the fore. Flavour also has malts, blackcurrant and a hint of vanilla. Later there are traces of liquorice, dried fruit and cola as well. Finish is dry and slightly fruity. This is decent.
