Sampled draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft. Black with a creamy mocha head. Nose is burned charcoal, strong roast, quite dry. Taste is strong roast, charcoal, very dry chocolate, mocha, cacao nibs. Very dry body, strong roast but also light sweeter chocolate. Reasonably decent & enjoyable.

On tap at Beer Revolution. It pours a mostly clear pale golden color with a white head. The aroma has some nice apricot and vanilla. Good levels of acid and funk on the nose. A little graham cracker sweetness. The flavor is massively oaky with vanilla, soap, light lemon and big time brettanomyces bandaid. Plastic bandaids. Very mildly tart. The body is fuller and thicker than I would’ve thought for this kind of beer. I’m not really a fan of the bandaid-like brett character or the overpowering oak. It smelled way better. Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish my glass. The bandaid aftertaste lingered and this angered me.

Light sweet flavour with lightly toasted pale malts, flowers, pine needles, faint caramel. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can from The Bottle Shop London and drunk at home. Hazy amber colour lasting white head. Pine resin grapefruit aroma, some toffee flavour, pretty decent APA I thought.
