On the house, many thanks! Taster at Brinkburn Street Brewery. Tiny beige head, ruby-black body, fragile lacing. Rather sweet aromas of dark malts and dark berries, dry. Sweet taste of raspberries and chocolate malts. Full bodied. Long lived sipper that gets far too sweet in the long run. (Byker - Newcastle upon Tyne, 20.03.2024).

Half-pint, draught, shared with Finn at Brinkburn Street Brewery. Patch surface over a next-to-clear golden body, clingy lacing. Moderate smell of mild floral fruits, dry. Peachy flavours with cereal malts. Short malt-fruity tail. Average, more or less. (Byker - Newcastle upon Tyne, 20.03.2024).

Half-pint, draught, shared with Finn at Brinkburn Street Brewery. Remaining beige head, black in the glass, laces well. Inviting aromas of roasted malts, mid-sweet. Honeyed chocolate malts to the taste profile, some semi-tart spiced fruits to it. Rounded ending, not that well balanced, but quite okay. (Byker - Newcastle upon Tyne, 20.03.2024).
