Craft100 fest at Craft Clapham. Cask. Stronger version. Also dry hopped with Waimea. Very hazy gold beer, residual white head. Palate is dry and crisp. Strange beer this, there is solid orange and lemon citric hops but also a strong bitter woodiness! Floral notes and grapefruit on the back end. Little spice. Dry finish. Bitter woody grapefruit linger. Strange but interesting.

Draft at Pigs Ear 2013 - London. Pours dark brown with a bubbly, tan head. Burnt meat in the nose with burnt marshmallows, too. Light sweet flavor, quite ashy, with old cigarettes and earth. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Charred malts to finish with more ash and tobacco. Somewhat one-dimensional but decent if you’re a salty old dog who likes his stout gritty.

Cask @ NWAF ’14, Derby. Chestnut with a hint of red. Peppery and slightly urinary aroma. Nice though. Unfocused but intriguing bittersweet taste, carrying the peppery hop through the flavour. The whole is better than the sum of the parts, creating a lovely beer.

Bottle: Literally black with a brownish/tanned head, freshly ground coffee and roasted malt in the nose, a slight acidity is detectable; dry bitter flavour - a bit sourish, too, any sweetness hardly detectable, quite soft; dryish fruity and also leathery traces in the lingering bitter and slightly sweet finish. Good, but really not well rounded…
