Bottled. Clear golden, mid sized head. Aroma of gooseberry, salt and spice. Fairly light bodied, soft and gentle with aromatic hops and marked bitterness. Nicely drinkable.

Cask @ GBBF, 2011. Pours cloudy golden with a small creamy white head. Smoked and meaty. A bit of grain. Odd infection - but not horrible. Medium bodied.

Black color; very large head (too much carbonation?). Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, light liquorice, light bitter herbs, and a vein of sourness. Good body strength, good dark caramel and coffee flavor; but the acidity from the dark malts is too high; the roastiness has a major participation in trhe final.

Bottle from Bacchanalia, Cambridge, 03.06.11 consumed that same evening at Crystal Palace campsite, London Pours mid brown, quite muddy, but to be fair it had been dragged around Cambridge in my small rucksack and then in the camper, totally my fault as I forgot to leave it undisturbed (schoolboy error) I’ll give it an average rating and won’t mark it down on appearance. Some citrus in the mouth but also a very slight sourness at the edges, not enough to make me too concerned but its there all the same. Some lemon and a long lingering bitterness, its fine.
