Many thanks to Simon T. for this bottle. Great dense chocolate beginning. Deep caramel with a deep malty bitterness. Round and easy to drink, grainy, bitter, dry caramel.

Tight foamy beige head left a creamy cover on a clear copper coloured body. Fruity malted aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a sharp back. Malt, fruity berries, light hops & grain tastes with a tangy bitter finish. Tastes more like a Bitter than EIPA

Tight foamy off white head stayed on a slowly carbonating, reddish brown body. Caramel, malt & treacle aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a tingle down the throat. Berries, caramel, spiced fruit & light hops with a long bitter finish. Nice one.

First beer in a little tasting session with myself on 29th Jan 2021. 500ml bottle conditioned; BBE Mar 2022. No sediment left the bottle, so I got a bright and clear amber body, the head an off-white affair that stayed the distance. The Cara Malts rule the roost in this brew, other stuff going on, but it's caramel all the way really. My sweet tooth liked it, didn't notice any Mosaic or Simcoe influence even if the bottle label claims they give powerful hints of ripe mango etc, etc.

500ml bottle condition from Beers of Europe: BBE Mar 2022. Drank at home in the early hours of 29th Dec 2020. No sediment left the bottle, so I got a clear amber pour, off-white crown on top. The nose held citrus notes alongside malty molasses, the taste was also a mixture of light citrus flavours on a caramel/toffee like base. Nice!
