16/5/2020. Bottle sample courtesy of the SHIG, cheers! Pours dark amber with a lasting frothed off-white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, caramac bar, nut and bread. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Earthy finish, with a little vanilla and tree bark.

16/5/2020. Bottle sample courtesy of the SHIG, cheers! Pours hazy pale gold with a good size white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, grainy and a little buttery, big on artificial candied sweets like flying saucers (the ones made of edible rice paper and corn starch), with light fruit and a hint of overripe banana. Tasted funky, cardboardy, maybe infected, maybe not as brewer intended. Quite watery, soft carbonation. Bit of a sour finish. Not today's highlight.
