Cask at Egham Easter 24. Aroma has rich malty chocolate. Murky darkest brown. Thin frothy foamy white head. Restrained berries, followed by mocha and Malta. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice.

Growler fill from the Low Cost Beer online shop. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aromas of mixed spice and dates, some chocolate. Raisins and toffee. Taste is more of the same. Fair enough. Does what they aimed to do.

500ml bottle: BB November 2024. Drank at home on 8th March 2024. Mini-haze to the yellow/golden body, white crust. Fruity and juicy tropical/citrus aromas and flavours, light bitterness with a some semi-sweet malt action.

500ml bottle: BB September 2024. Poured into my old Paderborner Goldpilsner vase shaped glass (twice) at home on 8th March 2024. First pour gave me a bright, clean and clear golden beer with a snow white head, the second pour gave a slight haze to the golden body. A mini sweetness in the taste, grainy/malty and earthy, enjoyed it.

Spotty off white head on a reddish brown coloured body. Malt & berry aroma. Medium bodied, soft with a cloying back. Berry, malt, sugar & caramel tastes with a bitter hopped up finish. Tasty.
