Bottle - Xmas gift. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a dense white head and some lacing. Fairly mild aroma with sweet notes of sherbet, strawberry and some mango. Quite strong flavours comparatively; candied peal, straw and a flowery hop. This changes to a sudden, intense bitterness of grassy hop, astringent resin and earthy undertones. Struck me as decent homebrew.

Draught. Clean black with a thin head. Aroma is light vanilla, chocolate and roast. Flavour has burnt malt, dark chocolate, spice on a long dry burnt finish. A little flat at the end, a bit mire kick and this would be a winner.

The (not so) shit beer tasting at Leightons stratospheric flat. Lightly hazy deep amber beer, good pale cream coloured head. Palate is airy and light. Very fine carbonation. Light and tangy dried fruits. Cinnamon and lactose. Light semi dry finish. After two strong recent offerings from 8 Sail - this is a disappointingly retrogade step in to British spiced christmas beer bollocks. Messy.
