Strawberries cherries and an angel’s kiss in spring.
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Black colour with a fine small creamy beige head. Roasted malt and coffe nose. They have really done this weel. It really taste espresso. So for those who like espresso(like me) this is good stuff. But why not change the name to Summer beer :-)

Keg @ Free Trade Inn, Ouseburn, Newcastle 250312
Amber, hazy, dense bubbly head dissipates to thin layer
Aroma of strong grassy, citrus, grapefruit hops...sweet juicy golden malts..more grapefruit than in the taste
Taste of strong, stingy grassy resinous hops...background of grapefruit zest..rich golden pale caramel malt background..pretty assertive
Palate - medium carb, medium body. Strong tangy zesty bitterness. Finish as main flavour, lingering concentrated orange bitter zest, bit over astringent. linger bit over long.
Overall - Very good beer perhaps a tad too aggressive in the finish

Cask at the PSBH, 29th March 2012. Pours very clear and clean, nice aroma, very smooth and drinkable, worth having as a weaker ale from SWB

Bottle at Kernel to celebrate Thomas’s 30th. It pours jet black, with a thick tan head. The nose is coffee, dark chocolate, some spice, smoke, vanilla and filter coffee. The taste is coffee, varnish, salted liquorice, vanilla, marshmallow, roasted malt, charcoal, tar, ash and dark cherry, with a sweet finish. Full body and moderate carbonation. Balance is spot on. Great work. Surprisingly easy to drink, given how thick it is!
