Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - amber with some head which dissipates fairly quickly. Nose - honeyed malt even caramel. Taste - toffee and biscuit. Caramel on the end. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a finish that is a little too sweet unfortunately. Overall - drinkable initially but a bit cloying after a while.

Bottled (backlog). Orangeish amber colour with a small off-white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is fruity, caramelly, and mildly toffeeish. Also mild wood and grass with a slight acidic touch. Flavour is wood, caramel malts, some toffee, floral hops, mild nuttiness as well as some crystal malts. Alcohol does give a slight sting too.
