Keg @ Manchester Beer & Cider Festival 2016. Crisp tasting and brown in colour as you might expect. Has some darker malts on its taste, which are tasty, some hops and a light bitterness.

Keg @ Victorian Craft Beer Café, Halifax. Black with a thin off-white head. Stated in its roasted malts, but the spicy enough gingerbread stamps its own character on the ale too.

330ml bottle from Beermoth, imbibed at my home residence. Good fruity aroma. Taste presents good tropical elements, some resin. Something missing tho.

Bottle at my desk in work. Pour opaque black with a nice lasting mid tan head. Aroma is damp wood, earthy smoke, like a rained on campfire, some bitter roast. Slifght medicine phenol on the nose, but nothing unpleasant. Palate is frothy, airy, highish carbonation. Flavour is composed of bitter dark choc, bitter roast, light medicinal smoke, hint of tcp. light cream. Big flavour forward beer. The bitterness is slightly too much for me.

Draft at IMBC 2015. Wow, massively cloudy golden color that settles quickly to hazy with a huge head. Aroma is peppery, dusty, earthy, floral. Taste is funky, dusty, bitter, earthy, hoppy, fruity. Wow!
