Huge, dense cream to greige head over ochre-rimmed dark brown beer. Bit of plastic, solvent, dark malts. More plastic, but blending way better with the dark, meloidin-rich malts. Some hops rounding off with a mild bitterness. Medium bodied, quite slick, slowly dwindling flavours. Decent, if nothing more.

Cask Frothy light cream-coloured head over clear foxy chestnut beer. Sweet apples, left-over orchard ones, and quite a bit of solvent. Sweetish taste with a bitter finish, bit like bitter almonds or apple kernels. Light body, bit velvety MF. Not bad, if a tad too sweet to my taste.

Cask Cream-coloured reddish tinted head, very voluptuous (cask!) ver reddish amber beer. Flowery nose, some natural fruitsugars obvious. Bitterish, bitter almonds flavour. Almondy flavour too pronounced - the rosehips? Quite creamy texture - especially with the head so tenacious! One flavour too overpowering - more’s the pity, as a subtle flavour of rosehips is usually great in beer.

At a tasting, thanks, small creamy bubbly beige head, dark brown color, aroma of toasted dark bread, banana, yeast and plaster, flavor of yeast with coal and dark bread. Much too yeasty and not too good.
