My nightcap on 12th June 2015 after three other ’bird’ named beers. 330ml bottle: BBE Feb 2016, obtained from the brewery on a visit earlier this year. Poured slowly into a stemmed tulip (twice, got the size wrong) at home. Red hue to the dark brown body, the head a wispy off-white affair on both pours. The nose was like a fruit salad soaked in malty molasses a day too long for the cake mix, the taste similar in nature. Malty sweetness with a fruity backdrop which blend into a really interesting and deep flavoured beer, red berries push other fruit notes to the side, red wine/sherry like flavours come through as the beer warms a little: complex and very, very good.

Bottle split at the Bespin Cloud City W2, thanks to Dan Yell, 05/05/15. Lightly hazed amber topped with a moderate off white swirl. Nose is caramel, floral notes, light spice, malty tones, honeydew melon, light balsa wood. Taste comprises caramel, spice, rich malt, fruit cake. Medium + body, fine carbonation, sweet licks in the close. Ok, a touch overly sweet though, not one I’d look to revisit.

500ml bottle @ 12th Shrewsbury Bottle Share, April 15, courtesy of Blackhaddock. Pours clear gold with frothy white head. Light ginger aroma. Taste is like alcohol ginger beer, not unlike Marble’s ’Ginger’, with a fuzzy carbonation. Nice.
