5.4% version bottle from Bottle Shop Canterbury. Decent aroma. Earthy amber ale flavour. Some rye spice on aroma. It’s fine if earthy slightly muddy. Fine. Opens up a bit if had with cheese. It’s an amber ale so not hugely challenging bit fine

Bottle shared at Craft Clerko. It pours hazy deep mahoganny brown with a thick light beige head. The nose is toasted pine, juicy, varnish, dried fruits, toffee, leather and light spice. The tast is bitter-sweet, honey, earth, candied orange peel, festive spice mix, touch of booze and toasted grain. Medium+ body and fine carboantion. It didn’t wow me, but it was pretty decent anyhow.

Bottle from bottle-shop.eu. Thanks Bob! Medium carbonation. Pale yellow colour, thin layer of white foam. Aroma of watery citrus lemonade. Also some yoghurt notes. Light salty finish. Water but easy drinkable.

Bottle courtesy of next door neighbours Geraint & Helen (thanks!), consumed at home, Sunday 28th December 2014 Despite being my top UK brewery of the year this beer goes a little way to undo much of the good work that went beforehand. A very, very slight hint of vinegar on nose (slight but noticeable) suggests that this is possibly infected. A tart fruity beer (probably not meant to be so tart) bit of a perfumey flavour. Really disappointed with this. A5 A4 T5 P4 Ov10 2.6

Bottle consumed at Foxhills campsite, Weybourne, Norfolk, Wednesday 24th December 2014 Hazy amber on the pour with off-white head. Lots of coffee on nose with a little sweetness, the hoppiness and coffee a great marriage each keeping the other on a tight leash. Lovely, its great. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 3.9
