Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 13th November 2024. Deep sepia with shallow, pale tan foam affording full lacing. Roasty malt aroma. Bitter chocolate in-mouth and a finish of coffee and more bitter chocolate morphing into pure bitterness. Full bodied with a smooth texture. Superb.

The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter, with a somewhat light, dry coffee ashtray, earthy, light rum, liquorice bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Can. A medium haze on this yellowish gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a very mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Nice fluffy pale malts, sweet but not overly so. A nice hop combo this, just could do with more of all of them. The El Dorado floral nature seems most obvious with a very mild Azacca citrus in the mid. Just a bare whisper of the bonkers Zappa hop, touch of Skittles on the light finish. Very solid brew, just up the hop intensity and it could be in the top division.
