Bottled, huge thanks to Riba who shared it with us! Amber-red off-white head. Huge aroma, caramelly, almost mildly buttery, malty, some wormwoody hoppiness. Citric touches in the taste, caramel, ends dry, just slightly harshly bitter and astringent. Sorry, but feels slightly old and a bit homebrewish, the recipe looks like it might need tweaking, but I'll take a shot at it again when I see a fresher bottle.

Bottled, courtesy of Riba, huge thanks for sharing with us! Hazy golden body, off-white head. Enormous wormwood-like (pelin) aroma, hoppy touches, spicy, mild rosemary, bit creamy. The taste, creamy, bit yeasty, showcases the rosemary better, though it does feel slightly in need of tweaking. As it stands, it's a bit of a gimmick - I'm a huge rosemary fan and it didn't push my buttons exactly right. Would be interesting to try it with some lamb though.
