Bottle shared at Cotteridge Convention 2017. Cheers! Pours clear, pale yellow with a creamy, white head. The nose holds lemon, tangy pear. Light sweet flavour, moderately acidic, with more tangy pear, lemon. Light bodied with spritzy carbonation. Clean finish, with notes of tart pear, more lemon, some other jammy citrus, quenching acidity. Nice one.

Bottle shared with Vestergaard. Ma homeboy. Pours pitch black with a brownish head. Aromas of roasted liqorice, coffee and some sweet fruits. Dark chocolate. Bittersweet flavour, very roasted and slight fruitiness. Could have been stronger for my taste. Bitter and roasted finish. Very nice.

Keg at William IV. Brown with hints of red. Creamy off white head. Aroma is skunky hops, grapefruit, bit BO, kind of black ipa like. Taste is similar, lightly roasty, grapefruit hoppiness, bit more body, chocolate and coffee. Bit of creaminess when you get past the hops and some spice too. Quite nice. Mellower black ipa.
