Bottle shared at Chris and Ruth’s pre-GBBF tasting 2015 - London. Pours clear, deep black-brown with a creamy, tan head. Tangy dark fruits in the nose, some oxidation, metallic notes. Medium sweet flavor, oily, with notes of burnt toast, cocoa and earth. Medium to full bodied, thick and a little chewy, with fine carbonation. Mouth-coating oiliness lingers in the finish, with other notes of tangy fruits and bittersweet cocoa. A little messy.

Bottle shared at ChrisOs house of Pancakes. It pours near black with a decent tan head. The nose is sort, rich roast, coffee, cocoa, mild acidity, liquorice and touch of jammy berry. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, creamy roast, coffee, chocolate, mild acidity, rather savoury, liquorice, toasty, umami and peppery spice. Medium+ body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Well rounded and rather drinkable. Works for me.

Bottled at Petalax Beer Festival, thanks andrepintado! Clear mahogany colour, small head. Cranberries and caramel up front. Mid sweet with medium body and clean mouthfeel. Tired caramel, lined by tart lingonberries. Fairly low bitterness.
