Craft Islington bottle share. Thanks to Leighton. Hazy deep amber - brown beer, small tan head. Dry palate, good carbonation. Mellow dry dark malts, some roast. Dark fruits before a dry bitter finish. It’s okay, bit harsh on the hop side.

Keg at Brighton Bierhaus. It pours hazy orange - amber with with a massive white head. The aroma is toasty grain, malt - driven, bread and orange marmalade. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, bready, tangy orange, marmalade, earl grey tea, straw and some grass with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent malty amber.

Cotteridge #3: 20th May 2017. Cheers Mr Pink for bringing this offering, the only Australian beer at the tasting. Poured a dark brown with a lasting tanned topping. Molasses, chocolate and tar in the aroma, taste had some soy sauce alongside the semi-sweet molasses, chocolate and tar from the nose. Liked it.

Bottle at the Cotteridge Convention 2017. It pours black with a thick tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, coffee, umami, charred notes, dark chocolate, dark fruits, cocoa and fruit cake. The taste is bitter - sweet, jammy fruits, candy, toffee, dark fruits, warming alcohol, sticky, sweet, earthy, chewy malt and cocoa. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty rich and decadent. Nice.
