Bottle shared between IMBC sessions - cheers to Dan. Pours deep brown with a creamy tan head. Interesting stuff, a little funky and buggy, some bitter ash, tangy dried berries, old leather, dry cocoa. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. More aged, tangy berries in the close, some baking cocoa, scorched earth. Pretty solid.

On keg at Small Bar, Bristol. Pours murky golden yellow with a white head. Aromas of doughy bread, yeast, herbal, hint of lemon. The taste follows the aroma along with some hay & funk. Medium bodied, average carb. Dryish close. A decent mixed ferm Belgian style golden ale. Definitely a brewery to watch but production is tiny

Gravity cask at Pigs Ear 2017 - Hackney. Pours unclear, deep orange with a frothy, mostly white head. The aroma is interesting, with some ripening citrus fruits, orange, grass, pine, crackers. Light-medium sweet flavour with a light soapy note, some meringue and tangerine, rindy bitterness, doughy malts. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with grassy and rindy bitterness, more doughy and also grainy pale malts, nips of berries, ripe orange. Novel, but just so so overall.
