Saturday 27th March 2021. Tasting session with myself, six beers; this is the first. 330ml can from Beer52; BB 26th Aug 2021. Slight haze to the light golden body, white topping. Not too sure what a Swiss Mountain Yeast is, but it's helped to produce this brew apparently. Soft and pleasant enough, mild hop front with a mini-citrus feel. A decent start to the session, no strong aroma or flavours to report about though.

Frothy off white head on an unclear gold body. Fruity malt aroma. Medium bodied, soft over the tongue with a cloying back. Bitter, yeast, spiced, pepper & citrus tastes with a hopped up finish. Good one.

14th September 2020, Shrewsbury Beer Share gathering with Syrian Supper in Chez Sophie, five in attendance. Thanks Simon for the 660ml bottle of this. Black bodied, wispy tanned head. Oats in the nose and taste, sadly this lacked depth and oomph, especially for a 12% Imp Stout.

660ml bottle @ Syrian Supper tasting, Chez Sophie Sep 20. Pours black, thin tan head. Light roast on the nose. Not quite as meaty and malty as expected, quite thin on the palate lacking depth of flavour. Certainly tastes nowhere near 12%. Low carbonation, modest currant fruits, subtle roast. Bit of a disappointing end to the night really.

Alright. Doughy, bit weird, but not so bad.

Wakefield Beer Festival 2018. Near black in colour and very sweet, this is fused with a clear strength and the result is overbearing.
