Bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Big hiss on opening. Expected a gush, but it didn't come. Dark copper colour. Very hazy. Thick, foamy, pale beige head. Nose has some nutty, fudgy chocolate. Some cake mix. Smells a bit like a Nutty bar, from donks back. Taste is dry and vinous, with a little residual, nutty sweetness. Medium body. Big frothy fizz. Bit of a twang to finish. Well, this has a bit of a bug or two. It is well up to its BBD. But that maybe has worked in its favour, because this was very enjoyable.

Bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Might be getting on a bit, this, looking at the bbd. Opens with a big hiss. Pours very lively. Coppery amber colour. Soft haze. Bubbly, lasting, off white head. Nose has some lime. Bready malts. But mostly it smells like a bretted Belgian affair. In fact it smells not unlike Orval. Taste is light, astringent bitter. Fairly dry. Lots of foamy carbonation. Mouthfeel is a little dry and tart. Finish is much the same. Gone wrong, but not terrible.
