Keg at BD Sheps Bush, 27/08/14. Clear orange with moderate light beige spotting. Nose is biscuit malt, orange, light hop presence, straw, touch of spice, caramel. Taste comprises mellow fruit notes, bready tones, orange, caramel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a subtle bitter linger. Ok hopped up bitter, Americanised and not true to style, is this a bad thing ? Not really resulting in a drinkable number but still something I wouldn’t look to revisit.

Tap at the 2014 OBF. Pours very dark brown with a beige head. Aroma dark chocolate, dark malt and lots of wit things. A bit weird. Flavor is lots of zest, spice, and other wit things stomping all over chocolate and dark malt. Finishes spicy, fruity, lightly chocolate and definitely bitter. Que another beer style? Cascadian wit?
