Gravity cask at Beer Rebellion Gipsy Hill - London. Pours clear brown with a light, foamy off-white head. The nose is all burnt toast, roasted malts, chocolate, torched pine and grass. Light sweet flavor with oily chocolate, hard grassy bitterness, baking cocoa and charred pine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation and a chewy mouthfeel. Finishes with hard-edge burnt grass, more burnt pine, some orange rind, earth and minerals. Not excellent.

Golden colour, white head. Aroma of straw, malts, light hops, light fruity, some butter. Malty flavour, light hops, quite some butter. Finish butter and malts. I’m not a big fan of too pronounced diacetyl.
