Bottle bought Vinomondo, Conwy. Clear dark amber. Frothy foamy white head soon thins out. Aroma combines spice with a wiod and grains bitterness. Berries. Flavourwise it has berry sourness alongside a peppery spiciness. Underlying seeet fruit and light caramel malts. Light. Thin. Soft carbonation provides lift. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice enough.

Bottle from Stori. Appearance - amber with a slightly off-white fluffy head. Nose - light toffee and malt loaf. Taste - initial sweet malty loaf, going into a dry almost astringent brown bread. Palate - light to medium bodied, creamy texture, lightly astringent finish. Overall - a bit challenging.

Bottle from Stori. Appearance - golden with very low carbonation. The head disappears in a couple of minutes. Nose - sweet malt, cake mixture and honey. Taste - cakey and honey again. Palate - light to medium bodied, low carbonation as expected from the appearance. The finish could be fresher. Overall - it's under-carbonated.

Bottle from Stori. Appearance - golden with a thin head. Then it disappears quickly. Nose - caramel and floral honey. Taste - honey and lavender. Palate - light to medium bodied. A bit sticky on the finish for the style. Overall - too sweet for the style. Needs more hop bitterness.
