Keg at Four Thieves. It pours clear amber with a medium white head. The aroma is rich, sweet, big manure character, farmyard, dirt, hay bay, sulphur, sweet stone fruit, apricot and peach. The taste is crisp, bitter, grainy, cereal, wood, resin, manure, eggy, earth, filth and soapy citrus with a dry, grainy finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Definitely not right... Loads of manure about it. This is obviously proper bullocks-up. Will re - rate if I see it again.
