19/1/2021. Bottle bought direct from the brewery, part of a mixed selection case they advertised on fb. Pours clear dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is malty, biscuit, toffee, hops. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Nice bittersweet and fruity finish. A flavoursome and quite robust ale, seemed more than it's 4%. Quite enjoyed it.
