(Cask at Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak, London, 21 Apr 2015) Golden amber colour with foamy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with apricots, citrus and biscuity malt. Malty, fruity taste with notes of apricots, citrus, biscuity malt, tropical fruit and a balanced grassy bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Quite nice.

Bottle @ home shared with Thompson. Clear rusty orange color, small to average sized white to off-white head. Aroma is huge huge nutty, hazelnuts and I guess chestnut. Weird and unique as far as I know. Taste however is old nuts, slightly sourish, sigarettes, ash, brown malts. Average body and carbonation. Not my thing at all, don’t like it. Interesting brew though.

Hazy amber brown colour, small frothy beige head, recedes after a while, light lacing. Aroma cocoa, roasted, nutty, brown sugar, herbal notes. Taste medium sweet, bit sour, light nutty. Light body, watery texture, soft carbonation, aftertaste light bitter, light bitter and sour notes, fruity notes. Overall disappointing, too watery and flavours too subdued, sour elements don’t seem right.

Bottled (from Ales by Mail). Ambery to nutbrown colour with a mediumsized slightly off-white head. Aroma is chocolate, som nuts, mild caramel as well as some mild herbal notes. Flavour is rather similar, but in quite a mild way, ending up with the beer being somewhat watery as for the palate and flavour.

Tasting at Leighton’s Flat. Light haze on this deep gold beer, small cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry with decent fine carbonation. Sweetish pale malts. Tangy fruits. Nuts! Hazelnuts and lesser walnuts more than chesnuts! Light dry finish. Nutty in both senses of the word!
