Bottle drunk at home. Semi-requested gift from my brother (I told him “bring me back some local beer” when he announced he was going on holiday to the iIsle of Wight). Pours the classic “bitter brown” with small, transient, offwhite head. There’s garlic and pepper in the aroma plus toast and hints of fruitiness. In the mouth it starts off quite wateyr, but this is soon forgotten once the flavours kick in. Mainly garlic again, with some old school hops and a malty sweetness hiding underneath. The garlic gets stronger in the finish. Rather nice – though I think one is enough !

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Amber colour, thin white foam head and aroma of malt, toffee, herby, cinnamon hint. Taste is toffee, malty, some caramel and biscuit, with herby, spiced bitterness. Medium bodied, light carbonation, dry tangy lightly spiced finish. Quite OK.

500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - cheers Graham!]. Clear, copper-ish, red colour with average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Mellow malty and fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of caramel, red berries, whiffs of garlic. Taste is minimally dry, mellow malty and fruity hoppy, hints of caramel, red berries; dry finish with whiffs of garlic. Watery texture, smooth and soft palate, fine and soft carbonation. Very subtle garlic flavours; adds simply a minimally spicy touch to a very harmonious and balanced bitter - very nice.

Bottle thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - amber with an off-white head. Nose - toffee, nuts and not a huge amount of garlic. Taste - light garlic heat. And lightly pungent. More toffee and nuts. Palate - medium bodied, dry finish. Overall - not as garlicky as I'd hoped.
