Bottle ordered from Beautiful Beers, Bury St E. Aroma has pine, herbs, coffee. Opaque dark brown. Satisfyingly foamy beige head. Medium bitter. Pine, black coffee and liquorice but with a herbal and citrus streak. Tangy. It's the bitterness that flows through into the finish. Medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Average carbonation. Long astringent finish. Hits the spot.

Bottle ordered from Beautiful Beers, Bury St E. Aroma had coffee, chocolate and dark berries. Dark and glossy. Cola brown tint. Foamy beige head soon recedes. Medium bitter - espresso and charcoal. Develops malty chocolate and light molasses sweetness. Sour berry edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Packs some character for the ABV. But also slips down.
