Draft at the Great British Beer Festival 2014, Day 1 - London. Pours rich black-brown with a creamy, tan head. Nicely balanced milk chocolate character, some toasted sugars, light ash, earth. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Good balance at the end, with more rich dark malts, dry earth and cocoa, burnt wood. Good one.

(Bottle) Clear golden with good white head. Nice aroma, subtle citrus and floral. Light bodied but fizzy. Flavour a little watery at start but with surprisingly harsh bitterness in finish. Not to my taste.

(Bottle) Hazy golden with very big head making for a difficult pour. Nice aroma of orange, spice, pepper. Light bodied with mouthfilling carbonation. Pleasantly tart with nice orangey notes and some peppery spice. Finish has increased tartness and some subtle bitter notes. Unusual and quite pleasant fruity wheat beer.

(Bottle) Clear very dark brown black with ridiculous frothy grey tan head. Aroma dried fruit, toffee, smokiness. Light body well carbonated. Unusual flavour profile with some sweet almost bubblegum notes at the start, quickly developing spicy notes and then transforming to a rather dry, vinous and smokey finish. Overall, unusual, a little odd, but quite pleasant.
