660ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Oct 17 Part 2, courtesy of Simon. Many thanks Simon. Pours dark reddish black, small tan head. Aroma of sugary red bretty berries. Taste is extremely light, fairly sweet prominent spicy brett, perhaps a bit too much. Not really an Imperial Stout, brings to mind more of an Alvinne dark sour, but the brett sweetness is a bit overpowering.

660ml bottle at home, 9th September 17. This one is Nelson, Citra, Centinnial dry hopped, slight deviation from the hop list above, but I guess pretty much the same beer. Aroma is citrus, slight sourness. Taste is soapy, gritty, unclean, some booze, some bitterness, a bit rough. Something dodgy with the reviews to date, this is not that great.

4th Sep 2017: Shrewsbury Bottle Share in Chez Sophie. Large bottle: BB Aug 2018. Gusher, a real gusher, would not stop pushing it's self out the bottle. Anyway once it had settled down a bit we all had (five of us) half a glass of a misty amber beer and half a glass of bubbly foam. Yeasty and citrusy in both the nose and taste, thought it fine, pity about losing so much on opening.
