Hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth malts, a light creamy sweetness, whisper of caramel. Mild smooth pine and modest floralness. Light berry fruits and a touch of orchard fruits. Mild spice on the finish. Comes together well. Nice to have a quality English IPA for a change of pace. Good stuff.

275ml bottle, 2015 vintage. Pours thick black with a small tan head. Aroma of dark fruits, chocolate, leather, roast malts, plum, liquorice. Taste is the same, sweet chocolatey, roast malts, dark fruits, plum, leather, liquorice, simply sublime, warming finish, doesn't seem like 11%. Full bodied, luxuriously smooth, probably the thickest beer I've ever had, fine carbonation. Wonderful.

Bottle, picked up at the brewery. Nearly black. Foamy ring of dark tan head. Light lacing. Slightly leggy. Good looking beer. Nose has dense, dark vine fruits. Notes of prune and dates. Cocoa. Dark, nutty chocolate. Ashy, earthy, woody malts. Taste has a dark chocolate sweetness, but is mostly, vinous and earthy, woody, dry and bitter. Mouthfeel is similarly earthy and robust. Fine prickle of carbonation. Long, earthy bitterness to finish.

Bottle from Little Leeds Beer house. Pours slightly hazy dark amber with a very small off-white head. Aroma of toffee, wheat, banana, hazelnut, light ginger and orange liquor. Towards heavy sweetness, light bitterness, slight hint of sour. Medium plus body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Warming, alcohol finish. Nice brew.

Gravity dispense, at the brewery, courtesy of the brewer. Cheers! Dark, copper colour. Light haze. Thick, creamy, lasting, pale ginger head. Good looking beer. Nose has caramel. Dried vine fruits. Some steeped cherry. Hint of dark chocolate. Background of nutty malts. Taste is nutty and sweet, with just a little twang of vine fruits. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Very easy drinking. Sweetness on the finish, with a light, vinous bitterness. Very nice.
