500ml bottle, as Essex Border Stour Valley, enjoyed in a relaxing atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon at Naboen in Bergen. Hazy amber body topped by an one-finger, white head. Nice glass-lacing. Floral hoppy aroma. Malty flavour well paired with spicy hops. Dry bitter finish. Medium bodied. Actually a quite sophisticated beer (20.06.2009).

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise, London NW1, UK on 9th June 2009. Very flavoursome dark mild with notes of charcoal and roasted malts in the initial kick. A long dry finish and a strongly textured mouthfeel. Although head disappeared there was no loss of condition and the zinginess lasted to the bottom of the glass. Absolutely excellent.

500ml bottle, bb. Oct.09, from Centra, Colosseum Park in Oslo. Frothy, white head of foam that stays quite well. Fine display of laceworks. Misty, golden-amber body. Dry aroma of herbs and flowers. Fruity flavour with hop resin, coriander and, in fact, hints of cactus (as in Bitter and Twisted). Some notes of earthy malts beneath. Smooth, but still lingering aftertaste, of hoppy fruits with a light dry bitterness to it. Well balanced. Summer drink with a pleasant, unusual taste (Tromsø, 09.06.2009).

Thanks to Butters for the bottle. Pours deep ruby mahogany with a tall, lasting, light tan head. Light roast malt, caramel and cocoa aroma. Sweet malts start and a few touches of chocolate try to sneak in there. A bit tame and very light bodied, but there aren’t any real flaws here and the flavor is good.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Tar coloured with a ring of cream head; herbal aroma with a definite touch of coriander; silky and dry in the mouth with metallic vegetable flavours - spinach and possibly coriander as well; the finish is sweet with some milky chocolate.
