Bottle from Favourite Beers, Cheltenham. Hazy amber with no head. Sweet, marmalade and caramel aroma with grassy hops. Well balanced flavours of biscuit malts and earthy spice, with a citrus hop kick and decent bitter finish. Good.

Bottle. Courtesy of Fonefan. Pours deep amber with a small creamy off white head. Hoppy, fruity and earthy nose and flavor. A bit of dust and alcohol. Slick and oily. Smooth. Citrussy and grassy hop flavor - again with a bit of dust and rubber. A bit unclean in a way! Warmth . .

Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival 04.02.11 Pours dark brown with off white rim of bubbles. Softer in the mouth than I was expecting but a bitterness headed by a dark bitter chocolate came through, the hops are kept underneath by the fruit & chocolate and a distinct maltiness. Moreish, a touch safer, and less challenging then some Hopshackle beers but bloody good nonetheless. Wish I could have had a bit more time to relax and sip this and some of those other dark beauties on offer. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival, 04.02.11 Pours gold with a bubbly white head some sweet fruitiness initially but the expected hops and bitterness never really came through for me, yes there were some light citrus touches but I mentioned to Glen that I found a slight plasticy flavour and note that he found this too. Its not unlikeable but it seems to be a beer that some get on with much more than others do. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1
