Bottle at GBBF thanks to ian. Dark caramel coloured beer. Aroma is sweet nutty berry and choc raisin. Flavour is nice clean nutty chic and raisin. Clean cal ale ferment. Bit too clean and refined. Palate is medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Solid. Good work jamil.

Bottle courtesy of Craig and shared at Cropredy ’Fairports Annual Reunion’ Festival, Cropredy, Oxon, Friday 8th August 2014 Pours dark brown with lashings of hazelnut and chocolate on the nose. These two unsurprisingly also combine in the mouth leading to a smooth, sweet beery nutty chocolate spread type of thing going on, the coffee a bit part player in proceedings. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

On tap at Tap East Stratford. clear dark red brown beer. Thin beige head. Some sweetness in the mouth some lime grapefruit hop. Some oxidisation but not much. Bit too much carbonation yet still a little watery in the mouth. Ok. Promises much but not quite delivers on this pouring.
