Bottle at Black Heath, pours a clear pinkish amber, no head. Aroma brings out fresh bourbon barrels upfront, with medium wildflower honey. Flavour is very complex, with a wonderful bourbon barrel character upfront, followed by vanilla and wildflower honey. Wonderful use of barrels. Complex and elegant. Lovely.

On tap at Black Heath, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small pink head. Aroma brings out subtly sweet blueberry, with some earth, and light fruit skins. Flavour is fairly subdued with the blueberries, with light skins, and very light honey character. Nicely incorporated blueberry. Solid.

Bottle at Black Heath, pours a hazy golden with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out subtle botanicals, with the honey pretty washed out. Flavour is fairly dry and spicy, with subtle botanicals, oak barrels and dry yeast. There's a touch of honey character, but the residual sweetness seems low. Interesting.
