Bottle from Crafty Bottle, Lincoln. This was a lively one, Hazy amber colour big foamy head. Aroma yeasty and caramel, tobacco, and black tea, not a hoppy IPA. Taste yeasty, sweet, ok but not what i expected.

Bottle, at Duggfrisk. A dense, pale beige head forms over an unclear brown body. The aroma has lots of sweetish toffee, with dirt and some chocolate and coffee. It’s full-bodied and quite sweet on the palate, smoothly carbonated, and with toffee and dark sugary sweetness dominating. Some chocolate and coffee chiming in, and there’s a good bitterness as well. Lasting sweet, malty finish. A really pleasant scotch. 160820

Bottle, at Duggfrisk. It pours an unclear, dark orange colored body and a dense, beige head. Lots of pine cones in the aroma, some tropical aromas and sweetish malts. Citrus zest too. There’s a good bitterness in the mouth, with malty sweetness to balance it, still it feels rather dry, especially towards the finish. Full body and a nice carbonation, with orange zest, pine cones and some tropical fruits. Long bitter finish. Delicious. 160820

Bottle from beer hawk. It is a red wine of a beer, deeply flavourful and sour. Spicy on the palate. I find it an uncomfortable half way house though of sour and barrel aged. Aroma is very much like port (wine, raisin, molasses). Nice but wouldn’t get again; no doubt exemplary for its style.

Froma 330ml bottle on 15/4/2017. Pours a dirty, murky golden with a tiny head. The aroma is relatively strong, with citrus and stone fruit, and . It starts with biscuit malt but is dominated by ripe apricot and peach, Syrupy with a hint of booze. Quite drinkable if a little unsophisticated.
