Keg at BD Shoreditch - London. Pours clear dark brown with a creamy tan head and strong lacing. Burnt toast in the nose with notes of charred earth and pine and dried citrus. Light to medium sweet flavor with some dried berry sugars, moderate piney bitterness, soft baking cocoa, roast, dusty earth, melon. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Somewhat dry on the finish with nice bittersweet cocoa, more toasted pine, earth, grapefruit, melon, orange rind. Good stuff. Like a session CDA.

Keg at BD CJ. It pours cloudy/murky dark brown with a tiny off-white head. The nose is roasted malt, earth, ash, charred wood and mild treacle-like sweetness. The taste is bitter, toasty, roasted malt, charred wood, pepper, pithy grapefruit, earth, coffee and ash with a rather drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Too drying on the finish imo. Not convinced...

Bottle from de Bierkoning (who had 7 crates of it he said), small sample. Cloudy golden to orange color, short head. Aroma of peanuts, fruity of peach and citrus. Slight touch of funk as well. Bit bitter in taste, slight dry, again the sate and peanuts association for me (although the other guys thought Im crazy). Easy drinker, quite flavorful.
