Grand tasting at Craft Islington with Hackobock. Thanks to Jacob. Hazy amber - brown beer, good pale tan head. Palate is airy and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Tangy malts and sour dark fruits. Mild spicy rum. A bitterish dry finish leaves a spicy linger. Tidy.

Bottle shared at the Hackobock tasting at Craft Islington. Thanks to Jacob et al. It pours cloudy red - brown with a medium beige head. The aroma is earthy, musty, wood, tangy dark fruits, leather, vanilla and booze. The taste is tangy, sour, wood, jammy fruits, green apple, vanilla, toffee, fudge, raisin, light varnish, wood and some booze through the finish. Medium - full body and moderate carbonation. I like elements of this, but it is a bit messy.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to the bros! Pours amber with a creamy, white head. The nose has ripe berries, bread, toasted wood. Medium sweet flavour with dried berries, some earthy bitterness, dry toffee. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Lightly warming in the finish, with more dried berries, a little toffee, brown bread. Good stuff.

Thank you Mike! Bottle #41/500. Bomber sampled. Black, little tanned head. Umami nose with chocolate, weird varnish mocha, lightly watery, dirt. Taste is odd, umami, dirt, faintly vinous, warming dirt, booze, chocolate, grains, grainy,... Body is touch thin & lightly vinous. Not very impressive with the lightly thinned body, dirt & lightly vinous taste. Wouldn’t call it ruined but it isn’t very impressive either.

Thnx to Mike ! Pours black, small white head. Smell is dit sauce, umami, dark malts. Taste is Sharp, bit bitter, chocolaty. Bit sweet. Burnt malts. Bit soy sauce . I like it ! Good mf and carbo
