Bottle from My Favourite Beers, Cheltenham, 11.02.12 consumed the same day in new Frank at Brierfields campsite, Cheltenham, Glos after a day of Morris dancing at Cheltenham Folk Festival Pours hazy brown with a head that swiftly departed. Malty and with a good depth of flavour, the oakiness showing along with a good hoppy profile. Plenty of dark fruits and some hedgerow ones as well but its the big maltiness that I find most striking and enjoyable. I have to confess to drinking this very late in the day after quite a few beers so my notes were at best sketchy, but I enjoyed this and will have to try and age one for the future.

BCA from My Favourite Beers, Cheltenham, 11.02.12 consumed Sunday 12th Feb 2012 at home. Pours hazy amber with a very slight orangey/reddy hue. The nose is a little woodland like with some fresh berries and wet wood combining. As the description suggests this is tart and tangy with some zappy hedgerow fruits, this then quickly dries out in the mouth leaving a light bitterness and yeastiness. Its actually really quite decent and if I tried this blind I may have felt that this was Belgian. Good stuff. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov15 3.6

Bottle. Almomst black in colour with a decent, tan head. Aroma of bitter chocolate with a hint of warmth and roastiness. Flavour had plenty more chocolate, with some prickly chilli warmth kicking in at the finish. Subtle and enjoyable.

Cask at the Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. Clear darkish amber beer. A little suddy pale tan head. Light dry palate. Light malty base. okay tangy dried fruit hops. Quite a bitter finish. Not bad but the brewery can do much more exciting beers than this.

Bottle. Opaque black in colour with a decent, frothy tan head. Aroma of milk chocolate, caramel, a whiff of charcoal and some raspberry fruit. Flavour had plenty of chocolate sweetness before some lingering, tart raspberries culminating in a gently dry finish. Excellent.

Bottle. Jet black with a slight tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, plain chocolate and bitter orange. Flavour had plenty of chocolate upfront and some supporting sweetness, before orange took over, with slightly oily notes and a dry finish. Very enjoyable.

Orange amber...very hazy...frothy white head..not much lacing
Aroma - Strongly hopped....oranges..tropical fruits...citrus...sweet golden malts...sweet aromas...juicy fruit
Taste - Sweet candy malts...caramelised oranges...light bitter resinous hops..grassy hops...not quite as good as the aroma
Palate - Medium carb...sticky oily texture...citrus tangy. Finish - bitter resin hops..sweet malts...same as main flavour
Good tasty IPA, but after the aroma the taste falls slightly short of expectations
