500ml bottle from the brewery’s stand in Stowmarket. Light reddish brown and clear with a tiny swirl of off-white head. Malty annd woody aroma, caramel light character of raisin. Bittersweet initial taste, strong Marmite on toast character. Bitter as hell finish. Medium body with soft carbonation. Not my vibe exactly but well made for what it is.
