Bottle. Amber with white head. Aroma of ginger, lime, cinnamon. Maybe some dough. More dough and toasty malt in the taste. A bit dull under ginger and cinnamon which are both a bit prominent and not terribly vibrant. Citrus gets a little lost. Dryish with low bitterness at the end. First real miss from Tuatara for me.

Keg at BrewDog Clapham Junction - London. Cheers to Dave for the share! Pours clear amber with a creamy, off-white head. Lots of toasty malts present, light leaves, earth, touches of tangy berries. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with notes of tangy berries, earthy bitterness, grainy toast, old pine. Meh. Probably not in peak form.
