50cl bottle thanks to unstablefable. Pours opaque with a thin crema head. The nose has a savoury liquorice thing going on with a hint of coffee and salt too. The taste has black jacks (sweets from the 1980s) and some coffee though it’s a little bit lighter than the nose - more bark than bite a Andrew says! The palate is a medium body with a rich texture but then it falls off a cliff somewhat! Overall, good though!

Bottle at ChrisO Holiday Tasting, London - thanks to Chris, probably. Pours clear gold with a light, white foam head. Light dry, toasty bread aroma, some mild floral hops. Light to medium sweet flavor with mellow, dry caramel and toasted bread. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Moderate bready malt finish, with some faint, dry hay and modest floral bitterness. Fine.
