Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours hazy amber with a short-lived thin white head. Aromas of light earthy hops and caramel, light red fruit and tea. Taste is weird. Jammy sweet, some sour notes, then tannins. Burnt bitterness at the end.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - deep amber to brown with thin lacing. Cloudy. Nose - dry crunchy bar. Taste - red fruit and plum which goes sweet then goes sour and then astringent. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy yet bitter and crunchy middle section. Tangy and astringent finish. Overall - wouldn't have another but it did slightly grow on me.

Many thanks for this Bottle Conditioned Beer to jacek Wigier (wineofdreams@gmail.com). Piwo ma gigantyczna piane jak slad na piasku wielkiej stopy. Trwala, niesamowicie, niespotykana pienistosc i trwalosc piany chyba w zadnym brytyjskim Ale. Pachnie wilgotna plecnia piwnica, workami raszlowymi z odlezalymi ziemniakami, w smaku kwaskowe, piwniczne, nuty drzewne (pewnie beczki debowe), orzechy ziemne, lekka slodowosc w tle przedojrzale banany ale i tak dominuje kwaskowa dzikosc. Dla mnie jazda w dobrym kierunku, niemal bez slodkosci zadnej. Tradycyjny i gozki finisz. Classic Bitter Ale. Polecam

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - very gentle carbonation on opening. Opaque black with a fawn head. Nose - smoke, tar and molasses. Taste - molasses, black olives, nuts and light raisins. Smoke again. Palate - close to medium bodied but very dry and tangy. Almost a sour edge. Overall - challenging but interesting.
