Bottle courtesy of Slothez. Hazy amber pour with minimal head. Sweet malts and vague dusty hops in the restrained nose. Pretty uninspiring flavour with a little fruit and muffled hop. Dryish bitter finish. Average and rather unrefined stuff.

Gravity cask at The Bree Louise, London. Pours dark brown with a faint head. Bit of roast, chocolate and faintly tart fruits in the aroma. Flavor is alright, bit of roast, wood, mocha, ash, burnt wood (like, at the stage before ash). Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Decent roasted malt finish, some burnt sugar, slight tang, low bitterness. Very not bad.

Bottle from Findhorn Foundation as Suma Long Wall Mouse
Light amber, hazy, almost no head, some floating brown flecks (got a bit of the sediment in there)
Aroma - not much....spicy hop, bit floral, light sweet malt
Taste - Sweet malts, light hops, overcome with acidity.
Palate - Medium body, low carb, acidic - finish light bitter with lingering acidity which intensified
Too acidic for me. Undrinkable. Something wrong with this.
