Cask at the Lamp Tavern, Birmingham on 29th December 2023. Crystal clear amber with white foam and plenty of lacing. A biscuit malt and sweet, tangy fruitiness from aroma through to finish. Medium bodied with an engaging texture.

Bottle (from KCM Päivölä, Seinäjoki). Pitch black colour with a small beigeish brown head. Aroma is toasted, roasted, mild sweet malts, liquorice and some slight chocolaty tones. Flavour is quite similar to the aroma Also quite big on the hops, but not disturbingly much.

Bottle shared at Latvian Independence Day celebration at Ebenezers, Crewe – thanks @BlackHaddock. [ Yes I know Shropshire isn’t in Latvia !] Pours a dark reddish-brown with mnimal off-white head. Aroma is mainly roasted malts with just a trace of plums. Much the same in the mouth, though the plums are a bit more evident here. There’s also a medicinal hint of balsam. This is reasonable but could have done with a bit more oomph and plums !

[March 2022] Dark brown with a frothy tan head and a malty and slightly nutty aroma. The malt prevails in the taste, along with a little more nuttiness, hints of chocolate coming through with a nice softly bitter finish, all just a little thin really

Thanks Simon. Smooth mild malty beginning. Hints of grain, nice Ale characteristics. Soft with a light malty back. Slightly sweetish, round with a subtle bitterness.
