T42 Christmas Bottleshare. Thanks to Scopey. Almost opaque dark red - amber brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Mellow dark malts, a little tangy dark chocolate. Modest Pine. Ripe fruits. Light and mildly bitter finish. Not bad. Could do with a better malt backbone.

Bottle in Abz. It pours clear bright gold with a decent white head. The aroma is pungent, big lavender character dominates, floral, herbal, grassy, savoury and citrus peel. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter - sweet, oily, orange peel, tangerine, loads of lavender, toilet cleaner, toasty grain, wheat, straw and grass with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Maybe too much lavender was involved with the making of this beer. Saying that I don’t dislike it. Unusual.

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to Scopey. Pours deep brown with a big, foamy, khaki head. The nose holds ashy roast, dry cocoa. Light sweet flavour with woody dryness, earth, baking cocoa, minerals, grass, tobacco. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Quite dry in the finish, some coffee, drying wood, cocoa, orange peel. So so overall.

Bottle split at the L42 Xmas Boost Up '17, thanks to Paulo, 18/12/17. Dark deep mahogany brown with a decent beige covering that retains well. Nose is light plastic, grains, spice, toffee, hint of cocoa powder. Taste comprises black peppery spice, mineral bite, light pine, dark toffee, cocoa bite. Medium bodied, spritzy and overcarbed, drying close dusted with earthy hop bitterness. Average CDA ... nose and mouthfeel drops this for me.
