Keg at the Lovibonds tap takeover Brewdog Camden. Clear bright orange / light amber coloured pour with a lasting thin white head. Aroma is lovely rounded sweet malts with honey, toffee and candy. Nice earthy pollen on the nose as well. Flavour follows with more toffee biscuity malts, pollen, caramel biscuit, mineral. Palate is semi sweet, bit thin, high carbonation. Could dial back the carbonation a bit. Lovely lingering honey, earthy.

Bottle at home, from Tourist Town’s Waitrose, 12/04/15. Hazed golden amber with a decent light beige covering. Nose is bitter fruit, light floral, bready malt, toffee apple. Taste comprises caramel, light candied fruits, hint of brown sugar, mellow fruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Inoffensive easy drinking amber affair, nothing I’d look to revisit but nothing wring with it.

Bottle at The Cad’s 10yr Shindig thanks to Colin/Fin. It pours opaque darkest brown with a small off-white head. The nose is rich chocolate gateaux, vanilla, oak, juicy, bourbon and some dark fruits. The taste is bitter, rich-roast, creamy, earth, wood, vanilla, toasted coconut, cocoa, bounty bar and some warming alcohol towards the finish. Fulsome body, moderate carbonation and velvety mouth-feel. Great bourbon on the aroma. Smooth and well-rounded. Nice work.

Bottle at Toms 10 yr anniversary. Black beer lasting off white head. Chocolate sponge aroma. It’s ok. Clearly not my thing but the chocolate is good. Smooth. Bit boozy. Ok.
