At a tasting, thanks Roei, big bubbley slightly frothy head, quite dark brown colour, aroma of carob, brown sugar and manure, flavour of nuts, lightly charred wood, and dirt, light sourness and strong carbonation, too light bodied but still quite interesting. Quite good.

Very hazy amber - brown beer. Residual cream coloured head. Palate is low carbonation and a little dry. Rich malt, slightly salty. Marmalade hops, medium bitter. Touch of cherry. Finishes semi dry with a mild hop bitter aftertaste. A little barleywine like. All right.

Obtained in a trade with Brigadier. 500 ml. bottle @ home. BBF 04/2014. Dark chestnut mahogany appearance, only mocha bubbles. Smell is chocolate milk nose, mocha, cheap chocolates, roast and big cuberdons, light blueberries, not bad. Taste is simple, sweet, chocolate milk, cheap chocolates, nice chunk of earth, dry simple roast, bitter herbal hops, light burned rubber in the back, grounds, liquorish and more bitter earth in the back mixed with light earthly blueberries. Slightly watery. Messy and bit weak but still quite enjoyable. Below review claims that this is a blend of a bitter & a dark beer, might explain why I thought initially of a bitter I had recently before when I had this.
