Bottle at home, 21st February 2012. Aroma is nice, pours to form a substantial head. Taste is nice, bitter not so much fruit got better as it warmed. Not bad - i have had much better though

Bottle from Chester Beer & Wine. Poured a hazy dark amber colour with a decent sized off white head. Interesting nose that had some nice tangerine notes in tandem with some subtle peppery spiciness, maybe vague cinamon or clove too. Flavour had prominent caramel malts alongside piney hop and juicy tropical fruit. Hop bitterness was very tasty and the slight peppery aspect continued on with the citrus into a lengthy lingering finish. Plenty to admire here, and definitely something I’d have again.

Cask, gravity NWAF, Manchester in company of Dad, Pauline and Baz 20.01.12 Pours dark brown no head. This is smooth & roasty, the chilli’s is subtle but good. There are some dark fruits showing and whilst I thoroughly enjoyed this beer I tried this alongside a similar Angel Banefyre which was sublime. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4
