Bottle. Clear slightly reddish brown, no head. Sweet fruity malty aroma, maybe hint of raisins. Medium body and carbonation. Tangy / fruity with rich malt and hint of chocolate. A little bit of pleasant bitterness in the finish. A very well balanced good dark beer.

Dark amber "malt driven" brew with caramel, toffee, chocolate and dark fruit. Decent depth, but felt it would have been better unpasteurized. Just came across as a stepping stone beer, which isn’t a bad thing if that is what they are aiming for, but not going to over impress me.

Bottle. Lovely-looking beer - colour of leatherwood honey, dense, creamy beige head. Good lacing. There’s honeyed malt on the nose too as well as citrus, flowers and spice. Taste is mild coffee malt, some earthiness and nuts. Gentle but lingering bitterness at the finish. I was underwhelmed the first time I tried it, but no, this is subtle and good. There’s no hint of open ferment wild funkiness though.
