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.

19/1/2019. Bottle from the 8 Sail Brewery Shop and shared at the 2nd Kesgrave 50/50. Pours slightly hazy pale gold with a large white head. Aroma of citrus, hops, hint of biscuit and honey. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness with a light tartness. Light body, slight oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Some sharpness to finish, and too fizzy, but very nice aroma and was quite enjoyed around the table.
