Light haze on this deep reddish amber beer, small cream colour head. Nose of tropical fruits. Smooth palate, semi dry with mild fine carbonation. Smooth malts with a trace of caramelly sweetness. Small pinch of hop spice. Light skunky tropical fruits. Passion fruit and mango to the fore. Smooth minty coolness. Smooth and semi dry finish. Nice.

Bottle from Pigs Ear 2014. I allowed Keane to talk me into buying this. Black beer thin tan head. Vanilla bourbon and chocolate malt aroma. It’s actually not bad. If you want a beer that tastes of vanilla and tastes of bourbon. A bit uncouth but quite a drinkable impy stout. Anyone else get a ghee thing going on? Sweet. Vanilla. Just all over the place to be honest. Ugh. After initial well being this is not a happy beer. Struggling to finish it.

Tasting at Leighton’s Flat. Opaque dark brown beer, good mid tan head. Palate is airy with decent fine carbonation. Semi dry. Sweet dark malts. Smooth bourbon, just a little alcohol spice. Sweet dark fruits. Dark chocolate streak. Light dry finish brings a whisper of banana ester. A sweet and flavoursome RIS and pretty drinkable.

Bottle at Leighton’s, thanks to Ol Mitchy. It pours near black with a thick tan head. The nose is rich, intoxicating, roasty, marshmallow, nougat, charred wood, vanilla and toast. The taste is bitter, rich roast, toast, sweet coffee, vanilla, warming alcohol, prickly pepper, earth and cocoa with a warming finish. Medium-full body and moderate carbonation. All comes together rather well. Nice offering from OME.

Bottle shared in London. Thanks to Mitch. Pours black-brown with a large, frothy beige head. The nose has some chocolate, burnt wood, hints of iodine and vanilla. Medium sweet flavor with pleasant burnt marshmallows, milk chocolate, mild earthy bitterness, some dark fruits, raisins. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming finish with some cedar wood, more torched marshmallows, cocoa, roast, dark berries. Lovely stuff. Good depth, nice balance.
