500ml bottle (BB 28th Aug 2025), drank at home on 19th June 2025. Poured into a glass tankard it looked great, bright chestnut body, off-white crown on top. Malty aroma with a spicy twist, taste also malty with some dark fruit flavours coming through. Really enjoyed this one, last beer of the night.

Bottle. Didn't feel like a bitter. Was much more interesting. Dark fruits, boozy but without big body. Interesting earthy taste, lightly spicy. --- Beer merged from original tick of Wilder Ness (3.9% Bitter) on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:02 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 8.

Cotts 2019. Boozy rich Christmas aroma. Darkest brown. Thin beige head. Medium-heavy bitter. Charcoal and some fruit. Medium bodied. On the thin side. Average carbonation. Long finish. I guess it's not aged particularly well - a tad bland.

Shared at the Cotteridge Convention 2019. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a round bubbly light tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, red berry fruits, big peat. The flavour of moderate sweet with a roasty, oily, dry, oaky, light fruit, boozy palate. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation.
