Bottle at home picked up from sainsbury. A dark mahogany brown black coloured pour with lasting khaki head. Aroma is mellow earthy roast, toasted nutmeg, dried apple, woody, dusty grains, tangy dark berries. Palate is semi sweet, light tang, moderate carbonation. Flavour is composed of semi sweet layered dark malts, tangy dark chocolate, fig, treacle, Christmas spicy, cinnamon, dried fruit. Decent.

According to my own stats I sampled 57 new beers during the mini-break I took the last four days (plus a few already hads too) - so I've resisted the urge to leave the house and taking it easy with this one from the cellar this evening. Very golden with a glow, nice carbonation. This hop comes across a little gritty and bready in taste.

Unusual or not, I've actually had some regular hot cross buns earlier today too. There's no sweetness here like you get from the baked product, but a similar breadiness is found in this instance. It's subtle along with its malts but very flavoursome.

Cork and caged 75cl bottle, shared with my son Ben on 28th January 2025. Poured into two GBBF glasses (2009), bright and clean deep golden body, decent white crown on each. Belgian yeasty aroma and initial taste, herbal, spicey and very drinkable. This is a really good blonde in all aspects.

Very slow supping this one with my attention mainly on the World Bowls Championship. Paying attention this one is fairly bitter and floral.
