Can from The Beerhive. Hazy dark amber body with a thin beige head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of woody malt, fig and glazed cherry. Flavour of toffee, dried red fruit and a hint of smoked malt. Medium body with a smooth texture. A rich, well balanced and nicely boozy beer. In my opinion it’s a little overpriced.

440ml can from St Mars of the Desert in Attercliffe - hazy gold body, big head. Solid resinous pine and spruce hit up front, long sharp hoppy bitterness at the back, picking up lots of fruity notes on the back of the tongue. Excellent stuff.
