Bottle from promo stall at Spirit of Christmas Nov '16. Been in my custody a while but it has not dissapointed. Deep ruby/black colour. Taste inital of vegetables but developed into deep roasted malts and ground coffee. Lingering taste of grass. I think this is a really nice stout, a good antidote to the OTT stouts popular nowadays, this can be a nice 'end of the work day' beer and I am sure it tastes even better in cask in a good sussex pub...any clues where? Enjoyed it.

Bottle. Opaque petroleum colour, small ivory head. The aroma is roasted malts, dried fruit, minor smoke and coffee. Light body. Dry roasted malts form the front flavour. Coffee follows. Light bitterness signs the short ending. Not bad. Could use some body density.

500ml bottle: BBD 16th May 2018. Drank at home mid-day on 20th June 2017. I actually enjoyed this more than I expected to be honest. Decent white crown on my clear golden pour, looked good. Hoppy and tasty, nose was all about the hops with a light malty backdrop. Taste also hop centric and fairly bitter from start to finish, againa light maltiness in the back ground. More than decent.

A light, almost ephemeral, English pale ale. A very gentle flavour of dusty hops and a soft kiss of malt create a smooth and enjoyable pale ale. A low abv and gentle carbonation make this, to my mind, something special. This is a subtle beer and something that you have to think about; rather like the difference between a new world pinot noir wine and a fine red burgundy.
