Hazy pinkish amber beer, patchy peach colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has decent fine carbonation. A light savoury vibe in to modest berry fruits and then a little floral blueberry. Light dry finish with unexpected spicy bitterness. Not bad.

330ml bottle, batch 150, bought at Hop Beer Shop in Chelmsford and shared back home with Finn and djoeye. Big bubbly, tan-coloured head leaving clingy lacing on the glass. Jet black body. Nicely roasted dark malty aroma, with hints of chocolate. Earthy malts with a delicious chocolate bite to the taste profile followed by a smoothly roasted finish. Fine depth. Enjoying. (Rating session, Tromsø 08.11.2017).
