Keg at Cotteridge Wines during the 2016 Cotteridge Convention. It pours darkest brown with minimal head. The aroma is bitter- sweet, dark chocolate bounty bar, dull smoke, decent roasted malts, toast and a touch of umami. The taste is charred wood initially, tar, quite earthy, chewy malts, peppery spice, coffee, dark chocolate bounty bar, touch of ash and wood with a dry finish. Medium body and limited carbonation. Nice dark chocolate coconut character to it.

Keg at Cotteridge Wines, Cotteridge, Birmingham Saturday 5th March 2016 Loz had this one to start with, I had a few tastes. Pours dark brown with only a couple of stray bubbles. Some bitter chocolate and cocoa on the nose and I may be getting some toasted coconut/macaroons. Chocolate in the mouth with a little coconut, fruity, touch thinner than expected, nice though.

Bottle shared at the Cotteridge Convention - 2016 edition. I will not say ’thanks’ for this beer, as it was a painful experience! Pours rich gold with minimal head. The aroma is actually pleasant, with notes of dried citrus fruits, floral hops, hay, green pepper, perhaps biscuit. The flavour, however, is unbearably spicy. One micro-sip and my mouth was burning, and it proceeded to burn for a further 20+ minutes, even after eating some other foods in an effort to assuage the pain. Mouthfeel: horrific burning. The heat just lingers and lingers. It’s terrible. Unless you really enjoy intense peppery heat, or you enjoy pain, I cannot recommend this beer to you. For me, it was not just completely undrinkable - it also inflicted a great deal of discomfort.
