Wells and Young’s version (2011 bottle) not sure if this is a new entry, as it is reportedly a new recipe. I’ll let the English admins decide. Pours with a black body and minimal tan head. Viscous. Aroma of roast, cocoa, coffee and licorice. Light estery character. Flavors are quite bitter as well, with a good amount of earthy roast. Light boozy and vinous notes. Medium thick mouthfeel with low carbonation. Interesting to see how it will age.

Bottled (Beers Of Europe). Amber colour, medium white head. Aroma is fruits, mild vegetables, some slight toasted notes as well as earth. Flavour is being quite similar. Rather watery and thin, though the elements are there.

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise, London. Pours a clear, light brown with no head. Light, sweet bread on the nose, with some toffee. Flavor is sweet, has some toasted caramel, herbal and leafy bitters. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Some toast in the finish along with faint, leafy hops. OK.
