Can at home in Hackney - picked up at the London Beer Lab. Pours clear honey-gold with a lively, frothy white head. Pretty interesting stuff, quite sweet, lots of bready malts, herbal tea, a little oily vanilla, ripe orange, lightly bitter citrus peel. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet, vaguely sugary finish, more ripe citrus, herbal tea, leaves, doughy bread. It's certainly a novelty, but I can't say I would be in a rush to revisit this beer.

Shared bottle (number 125 of only 175); Cotteridge gathering 23rd June 2018. An off-white head sat on top of my dark brown sample, looked mean and interesting. The nose held some whiskey/bourbon like esters alongside some dark berry and malty molasses within it's aroma. Taste was sweeter than I expected from the sniffs, malty and boozy. Smooth body feel.
