500ml bottle, courtesy of Cécile. BB 03/08/2013, batch#2. Different label, with the elephant on hind legs. Hops used are Galaxy and Cascade. Cool label. Orangée, col fin blanc crémeux généreux. Arôme présente un bouquet houblonné, citronné avec des effluves de grains concassés qui dominent légèrement surtout en rétro-nasal. Je note aussi une présence levure et un côté rappelant les feuilles vertes. Palais est léger, profil restant axé sur le malt et un grains assez présent. Amertume arrive en fin de bouche laissant qcq pointes d’épices, le tout oscille entre pin et citronné voire pamplemousse. Le tout est sec avec un profil qui se rapproche d’un style APA.

Bottle from Corks of Cotham. Hazy amber with a frothy, off-white head. Sweetish citrus fruit, rich tea malts and a dryish finish. Fine, but not the best example of Wiper & True’s brewing skills.

On gravity at the Volunteer, Bristol 25/05/2013. Near black with a decent, off-white head. Big, blackcurrant fruit aroma, with some roasted malts and a touch of leafy hop. Flavour had some solid malts, more fruit and a lingering dryish finish, with a touch of hop. Very good.

Bottle from Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Near black in colour with a short-lived tan head and plenty of bubbles. Big, bitter chocolate and roasted malt aroma, with a hint of blackcurrant sweetness and orange peel. Full mouth feel with a slightly oily edge that coated the mouth with flavours of black coffee and dark fruits, leading to a dry, toasty finish. Excellent.

Bottle from Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Amber with a slight white head and lively carbonation. Aroma of orange blossoms, candied fruits and a touch of pine. Flavour had plenty of citrus fruit, some biscuity malts and a lingering dry finish. As mentioned below, the alcohol was fairly prominent, but a good beer overall.

Bottle from Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Slightly hazy amber, with no head and pancake flat. Aroma of orange fruit and rich tea biscuits with some grassy hops. Flavour had tangerines and tropical fruits, more biscuity malts. Finish was dry and prickly, with a hint of ash in the background. Ok, but lacked some body.

Bottle bought at a Christmas market in Bristol. Pours near black with a small, off-white head and plenty of carbonation. Aroma of bitter chocolate, black coffe, rum and raisin sweetness, and a touch of vanilla. Flavours of chocolate truffles, oak and coffee grinds, before a touch of tart blackberry leading to a prickly dry finish. A lot going on and impressive for it.
