Keg at SixDeg North. It pours hazy orange with a medium white head. The nose is earthy, dough, spice, orange peel, tangerine, kiwi and hay. The taste is bitter, spice, dough, earth, barnyard, warming alcohol and musk with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Decent.

On cask at Sheffield Tap - Lovely clear golden coloured body with a white head and lacing all the way through. Reasonably bitter and hoppy but there’s a creaminess underlying in this that takes the edge off. Solid finish, but overall a little bland.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Kris Wines. Pours black-brown with a dense, frothy khaki head. The nose has some wintery spices or something, I guess some coriander, along with a bit of milk chocolate. Light to medium sweet flavor with mellow roasted malts, lightly bitter baking cocoa, dry mint, toasted bread. Light to medium bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. Moderately sweet to finish with more minty essence, a bit of burnt wood, short-duration cocoa. Novel stuff, pretty dynamic. Nicely balanced overall, and very drinkable. Solid.

Bottle from Drinkmonger. Black body with ruby highlights and a thin beige head that quickly fades. Excellent lacing. Aroma of chocolate, plum and cardamom. Flavour of milk chocolate and sweet, rich malts. Medium body with a slick, oily texture. Soft fizz. For a no-hop beer, this is very good.

Bottle from Drinkmonger. Clear golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of grain, lemon and an off-putting buttery note. Flavour of envelope seal. Astringent finish. I hate to give a new brewery a poor rating, but this tastes infected - I couldn’t finish it. One to revisit. The copy on this bottle says it’s hopped with Cascade and Summit.
