Bottle ordered from Tick Beer. Aroma has chocolate malts and dark coffee. Smooth vanilla edge. Dark. Cola tint. Creamy beige head. Light bitter. Sour edge. Coffee and berries. A light sweet periphery. Light-medium bodied. Creamy but thin. Flat-average carbonation. Long astringent finish. After an initial damp squib opening it develops some character. However it's still somewhat uninspiring.

Bottle from the brewery. Black with a barely-there head and a middling fizz. A little fruit in the aroma. Light vanilla creaminess in the flavour, with cola and a light roastiness. Maybe a tad thin for the style and strength, but pleasant enough overall.

500ml bottle from the brewery. Pours a lightly hazed amber colour with a small near white head that settled. The aroma is grainy malt, caramel and hops. A moderately sweet malty taste, cereal and caramel flavours with a moderate earthy hop bitterness.

Third, gravicask, at the 22nd Oxford Beer & Cider Festival. Shared with Finn. Hazed golden-amber body, naked at the surface, spotty lacing. Ginger nose. Perfumed ginger flavours. Ends like that. Drinkable, but not my kind of beer, sorry. (25.10.2019).
