Cask. Shakespeare’s, Sheffield. Clear, light amber colour. Dense and messy, sticky, lasting, white head. Nose is big on the Simcoe coming across resinous and sappy and a bit dank. Some ripe citrus. Some summer berry. Taste is sweet, upfront, turning chewy and resinous bitter. Plenty of body, with sappy sweetness on the lips. Robust, chewy bitter finish. Enjoyed the half I had very much, but I might not fancy much more than that.

2 x 330ml bottles of this doing the rounds at the 3rd Cotteridge Tasting on 20th May 2017. Cheers Dave (EvilEmpire) for those. Grubby amber body, beige head: bottle had been tipped a few times before it got to my station at the table, so might have been better looking earlier? Coffee esters rule the nose, the taste also heavy on the coffee, some chocolate and vanilla below the surface. Malty throughout.

Bottle shared at Cotteridge convention 05/03/2016. Thanks! The beer that will end you! A hazed yellow golden coloured pour with no head. Aroma is spicy green peppers, pepper, veg, beans, spicy chilli. Flavour is composed of of obscenely hot chilli, veg pepper. This is not only the hottest beer that i’ve had it’s probably the hottest thing i have ever tasted. Just heat not much else detected. Palate is painful, Just too hot.
