Bottle at Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, Nottingham. Reddish brown, clear, with a smooth beige head. Sweet caramel and rye bread aroma. Taste is also sweet and spicy, with a touch of bitter/sourness in the finish. Medium body with strong carbonation. Fairly simple but this actually isn't bad.

330ml bottle @ a Greene King pub in Chester. Pours black, small tan head. Aroma has earthy pine hints. Taste is surprisingly flavoursome, some nice juicy dark fruits, pine, citrus against some dark earthy coal malts and a robust bitterness. Really not bad at all.

Bottle from the Grain & Hop Store, Cambridge. Cola brown, translucent. A bit of off-white head and reasonable lacing. Metal in the aroma. A bit of liquorice and chocolate but the metallic smell overpowers. Man this smells filtered to high heaven. Taste is... not bad. Great actually. Bittersweet with chocolate fudge weighing on the tongue. Finish is incredibly bitter, bordering on astringent. Heavily carbonated. Ok, it’s tasty. But it’s not a BIPA (haven’t marked it down for that), more like a stout/porter. And it’s got this artificial character I just can’t shake. I think the lads and lasses from the Craft Academy need to study harder.
