Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance - very lively head. Golden. Nose - lightly funky, lemon. Taste - lemon custard, yoghurt. Light grassiness. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - the yeast note is too dominant. Is this what the brewer intended?

Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance - amber with a proportionate head. Nose - canned fruit salad around the sweeter fruit - melon and pears. Oranges too. All wrapped in a little toffee. Taste - it’s all still there but the toffee completely dominates the canned fruit. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a fairly balanced finish. Overall -yeah a nice complex beer.

Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance - dark brown to black with a decent head. Nose - gnarly crystal malt and citrus. Only a touch of chocolate. Taste - loads of wholemeal bread with orange on the back. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry texture. Overall - reasonable beer, but not really a stout.

500ml bottle: shared with Tony, the bloke who brought this to the 3rd De Bierboom Bottle Exchange on 6th Feb 2015. Golden pour with a good, clean white blanket on top. The nose has citrus hoppiness and a mild malty molasses undertone, the taste follows in the same way: a nice blend of ingredients that marry together well. Couldn’t write any more: the night had just began and there were some monsters to conquer.
