Bottled at RBESG 2008. A red-brown beer with a thick brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of sweet malt and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt as well as medium notes of sweet malt and soy sauce, leading to a very bitter finish.

Cask, gravity at Merton Summer Beer and Cider Festival, 17-07-09 Pours light amber in colour, some haze. Nicely citric with crisp grapefruit encountered quite early. This has a furiously bitter bite but its tempered with good undercurrent of sweetness in fact the balance is quite excellent. Strength was apparent but never intrusive or to the detriment of this fine beer. Good spicy touches, fabulously bitter and sweet a great British interpretation of a DIPA. Lovely stuff.
