Bottle picked up at Aldi Inverurie. It pours jet black with a small tan head. The aroma is earthy roast, coffee grounds, cacao, toasty oats and a touch of ash. The taste is dry, earthy, roasted malt, coffee grounds, ashy, cacao nibs, toasty oats and brown bread with a dry, toasty finish. Light - medium body and highiah foamy carbonation. Needs a bit of sweetness to balance things out. Fairly average.

Keg at the Beerhouse, Bury St Edmunds. Dark gold, cloudy with very little head. Papaya, touch of ammonia in the light aroma. Sharp bitter/sour taste. Carbonation soft, almost flat. A passable but not particularly engaging pale ale.

2nd Beer on a random tasting session with myself at home on 21st July 2017. 330ml bottle poured into a Duvel glass, off-white head, soon a wisp and collar, clean and clear amber body. The aroma is a strong blend of maltiness, hedgerow fruits, gooseberries and earthiness. Taste is an interesting and complex blend of flavours: semi-sweet malty molasses battle it out with gooseberry and woody notes. Different and fun.

Third of a cask pint at the Scottish Real Ale Festival in Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange on 7th July 2017. Amber pour, off-white topping. Aroma was a mix of citrusy notes and a light maltiness. Taste similar with a grapefruit front before the malts kicked in. Decent, refreshing after a few darker brews that I’d attacked earlier in the day.
