Bottle shared at the Cotteridge convention, 24/01/2015. Thanks to EvilEmpire. Murky golden / orange coloured pour with a lasting thin white head. Aroma is sweert berrt, big of citrus and and slightly harsh earth note. Flavour is composed of dirty earthy hop, resin, bit of farmyard, grainy. Palate is medium full body with moderate cardbonation.

Cask. Rutland Arms, Sheffield. Clear, very dark, chestnut brown. Thick, dense, lasting, pale tan head. Bit of chocolate orange to this. Nutty, roast malts. Dark chocolate. Citrus pith. Taste is light bitter. Some dryness. Some sticky sweet on the lips. Smooth, fairly full, creamy mouthfeel. Finishes nutty, roasty bitter. Tad more of the sweetness at the end. Good one.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Clear, very dark, chestnut brown. Film of messy, sticky, tan head. Rich, roast coffee, and chocolate malts. Sorachi really comes through, and lends a nicely balanced, sweet fruitiness. On top of that there’s a slight smoky, stewed plum thing going on. Smells great. Taste is dark chocolate sweet. Some light dry, before turning pretty hefty bitter. Soft, smooth palate. No hint of the ABV. Finishes long, fruity, coffee bean bitter. The Sorachi in this is pitched perfectly. Best Steel City beer I’ve had, I reckon.
