1/3 pint, gravicask, shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Dark brownish body under a patchy, beige head, dotted spots on the glass. Prominent and promising coffee aromas. Coffee in the forefront of the taste profile, joined by dark chocolate. Coffee, slightly roasted bitter endnotes. Quite easy to drink. Pleasant. (Burton Upon Trent, 16.02.2023).

Can. Light haze on this gold beer, small off white head. Palate is light and mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth malts, a nice light sweetness. Some lager tang in the mid. Lovely Godiva hoppage brings crisp piney white grape and a touch of floral lime. Light semi dry finish. Lovely jubbly, a crisp clean lager with lovely UK hops. Could drink this all night but went down particularly well after a hard hours housekeeping.
