Hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry and crispy. Light thin malts, touch of thin cream. Light tangy dried fruits. Light finish. Inoffensive but not much to see here, move along!

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours hazy gold, massive, overflowing white head, really high carbonation. Aromas of brett, sherbet, nothing else. Taste is also just a wild yeast party, which can’t be intentional. Drain pour.

500ml bottle: BBD Jan 15, poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard during a random tasting evening with myself during Dec 14, my 5th beer of the session. Very little head (tanned in colour), just a wisp and collar around the dark brown body. No sediment left the bottle, or at least I did not see any leave. Aroma and taste was leaning toward vinegar like, old wine/port that had been corked if being kind. Some malty chocolate notes coming through the original impressions but this will aid my digestion without a doubt (live rate) in the morning. Lesser men would drain pour this, but I am made of sterner stuff and will carry on. Scottish oat Cakes, soft French Cheese, Onion Rings and home made pickle will see me through. I was going to take this to a bottle share: wish I had now! Coffee esters arrived as it warms a little, but the overriding flavour/aroma/taste is still off-wine/port like in nature. I like this brewery and their beers normally: got to say this bottle did them no favours. Can’t remember if I bought this at the brewery or Beers of Europe? Happy to re-visit if I get a free bottle on my next visit to the brewery. Over to you!

Bottle from Real Ale Store Newark and drunk at home. Black beer thin tan head. Chocolate and dark malt aroma. Rather good dark chocolate I thought. Not much else going on but it is very good on the dark chocolate front. Rather good.
