Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours black with light brown bread. The aroma is rich roasted malt, toothy, chewy, umami, liquorice, splash of hendo's, dark chocolate, chocolate bourbons, charred notes and toasted spice. The taste is dry, bitter, rich roasted malt, toothy, chewy, toothy, charred wood, ashy, umami, molasses, peppery spice, dark chocolate, earthy, brown bread and cookie dough with a toasted cacao nib finish. Medium body and moderate, fizzy carbonation. An interesting old school vibe to it. Maybe needs a touch more sweetness or less umami to make it moreish, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Cloudy orange gold with a big, frothy white head and a big fruity nose of mango and peach. Micro-fizzy mouthfeel with a lovely dry sourness to the flavour, sharp and refreshing
