Bottle share at CBJ. Thanks to me. A muddy puddle colour beer or, the you know that time you had a dodgy curry... No real head. Airy dry palate, decent fine carbonation. Fairly nutty, a touch of milk chocolate. A little nut liqueur and booze. Light and semi dry finish. Interesting....

Bottle at the CBJ tasting, picked up in Athens, 29/01/2026.
Murky reddish brown with a limited head ... looks shit!
Nose is dark malts, light spice, tangy fruit esters.
Taste comprises nutty tones, herb, dark malts, touch of Nutella.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a light trace of barrel and kiss of alcohol.
So so offering ... very scatter gun and disjointed.

Can, thank you Fin! Pors dark red to purple, low head. Light coppery berry skin aroma mixed with mango/durian. Medium body, dry clay, chalk mouthfeel. Fruits soften the minerals up a bit, strawberry and tropical creme, restrained tartness. Fine hop bitterness in the finish, elderflower and strawberry retronasal. Unusual flavor combination - which almost works.

Can, thanks Fin! Purple, low head. Leafy, perfumed, spicy wood aroma. Medium full sparkling body, some chewiness. Lightly tart cherry base, wood, warm spices, light citrus leaves. Fun on the palate, not sure the aromatics work.
