Cask @ Drink, Hebden Bridge. Darker golden with a creamy head. There’s a small floralness in its nose, with a more raw, grainy maltiness in its taste, in a very drinkable texture.

42nd Floor Tasting. Thanks to Leighton. Very hazy brown beer, thin tan head. Palate is airy and dry, decent fine carbonation. Dry dark malts, earthy dry, with dry coffee and roast biiterness. Pine and traces of Sorachi lemon and citric fruits. Fairly harsh floral bitter dry finish. Tasty but too dry.

Bottle shared at level 42 Canary wharf tasting. 5/4/2016. Many thanks to Leighton for this one. Hazed mahogany brown coloured pour with a lasting light tan head. Aroma is airy grainy, tangy, citrus, a little funky. Hint of coconut on the nose. Flavour is composed of bitter black roasted malt, some coconut sorachi, woody funky sour. Palate is frothy carbonation, bitter malt malts semi sweet. Interesting enough.

Bottle at level 42. It pours near black with a thick light tan head. The aroma is pine needles, herbal, fennel, creamy, charred wood, chocolate and jammy dark fruits. The taste is bitter, earthy roast, charred pine needles, very dry, slightly burnt notes and tar with a very dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Alright.

Light to medium sweet flavor with charred cedar, baking cocoa, charred pine, more earth. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation and massaging carbonation. Dry finish, light alcohol warmth, more bittersweet baking cocoa, earthy bitterness. Not bad overall.
