Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving solid sheets. Overripe tropical fruit skin aromas. Soft with hot caramel, overripe pineapple and pine front to back. Lasting earthy pith finish.

Pours mahogany-tinged black into an English pint. Tan head with little retention recedes to nothing. Dark caramel, licorice and soy aromas. Thick with sweet, dark, dried pit fruit, chocolate and licorice upfront turning to dry soy in the medium length finish.

29th July 2019, monthly share at Chez Sophie in Shrewsbury. Thanks Mike for this offering, a 2018 labelled bottle. Poured a dark ruby with a tanned topping. Smooth body feel, aroma held malty chocolate esters, the taste also malt and chocolate dominated, liquorice traces also.

500ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie July 19. Thanks to Mike, I think? Pours deep dark, medium beige head. Aroma has strong chocolate, caramel. Taste continues with an excellent caramelly sweet chocolate character, some fruity moments, coffee shades. Great stuff.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at BrewDog Tower Hill. ours clear gold with a small, foamy white head. Not bad, has some sweet dry wheat bread, tangy lemon, white bread crust, hay, soft funk, mild yeast expression. Light bodied with average carbonation. Tart finish, more light funk, lemony acidity, pale bread. Not really any green tea, which is fine. Drinks nicely overall.
