1/12/2018. Bottle from 8 Sail Brewery Shop and shared at the 1st Kesgrave 50/50 bottle share. Pours clear dark brown with a large beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and dark fruit. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness and a light sour edge. Moderate body, slight oily texture, above average carbonation. Dry finish, quite traditional, though too fizzy and with a slightly fishy finish.

500ml bottle: BB Nov 2017. Obtained from 'Beers of Europe' and drank at home during a random tasting session on 15th Sep 2017, split between three. Red hue to the amber body, on top an off-white head. Aroma had a malty front with a Rye dominance, light spicy notes too. Taste again Rye centric and slightly sour in nature, might have had an infected bottle because it seemed 'on the turn' like the last drinkable pint in the firkin before you send it back (when in fact you should have sent it back because it wasn't right).

Thanks to Grumbo. Pours hazy orange color, topped with huge white foamy head. Fruity hoppy nose with some noticeable grapes. Soury taste with herbal sourness. Sadly gone, although still within BB.

Fresh, slightly sourish rich beginning. Malty dry, hazelnuts, moderate stout-sourness. Refreshing with not too much depth, but highly drinkable refreshing malty and very dry with a nice bitterness.
