Bottle shared with my beer brothers Cloin and Danny during the night of the release at the brewery. We beat the lines! Pours mostly clear reddish-brown with a lasting, creamy tan head. Fresh wood in the nose, toasty bread, dried berries, caramel. Medium sweet flavor with decent alcohol boost, some vanilla, more wood, toffee, dried fruits, figs. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Moderately warming on the finish with decent earthy bitterness, further caramel and light coconut, dried fruits, figs, berries, golden raisins. Good stuff overall. Might soften up novel with a bit more age.

Håndpumpet half pint på King’s Arms, Waterloo (London), sammen med Kitty: rubinrød med ok skum. Duft og smak av tørkede frukter (fiken, rosiner, epler), karamell og krydder. Perfekt til den godenthaimaten vi hadde.
