500ml bottle shared with jeevan and the Mrs. A problem shared is a problem thirded, in this case. Although, to be honest, it wasn’t that bad, just a poor 80/ imitation with some chilli heat. Didn’t find it lingering too much myself.

Golden amber, very spicy aroma w toffee, and an almost smoked nut finish. Strange brew. I wasn’t sure the nut til Sun said hazelnut, and she was right.

Pale and hazy. Bubbly head. Rich grapefruit aroma. Hearty bitterness, lots of grapefruit, light body. I’d pint the hell out of this on a hot afternoon.

Bottle from Cornelius. Dark brown body with a thin off-white head. Light lacing. Aroma of smoke, rust and nuts. Flavour of metal, forest fruits, coffee and chocolate. Thin body with a watery texture. Average fizz. An interesting blend of a Bitter and a Porter.
