Bottle from Beautiful Beers, Bury St Edmunds. Dark amber. Slightly opaque. Foamy off-white head soon recedes. Aroma has grains, malts. Some spice. Flavourwise is then unexpectedly sour - berries and rye. Develops hints of sweetness, moreso into the finish. Caramel and fruit. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable and easy drinking.

0.75l bottle thanks to Lore. Hazy orange/brown body with a pearl head. Aroma and taste of raisins, cinnamon, apples, caramel, orange zest, floral hops and some peated malts. Bold, smooth and complex beer. Not so much of a doppelbock for me, but who cares, it's great.

From tap at Brazen Head, Dublin, 22.03.25. Dark orange amber. Fairly persistent off-white head and lacing. Aroma and taste of medium roasted sweet malt, brittle, slightly harsh caramels, roasted nuts and sap. Off mouthfeel. Perhaps itโs been served with nitro.
