Bottle shared at Kenny’s 20K tasting - London. Many thanks to Daniel for this one! Pours deep brown with a creamy tan head. Rich coffee in the aroma, some earthy notes. Medium sweet flavour with lots of bittersweet chocolate, hints of dark fruits. Full bodied, chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, sticky, with heavy cocoa character and some earthy bitterness. Nice one.

Keg at Small Bar Bristol. It pours cloudy golden - amber with a small white head. The nose is fresh, creamy, sweet tropical fruits, papaya, mango, grass and straw. The taste is smooth, firm bitterness, pine, grapefruit, orange peel, grassy dank note, straw and a touch of pepper with a dry finish. Light - medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Good hop burp. Not exactly bursting with flavour but it sessions mighty well.

Lightly hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and fairly crisp. Fluffy thin malts, mild sweetness. Hops bring a light floralness, mild skunk, spice and a whisper of something tropical. Mild marmalade before a light semi dry finish. Fine but wanted more from a beer with these hops.

Bottle at Kenny’s 20K, big thanks to Dirty Danny. It pours jet black with a small tan head. The nose is sweet, oily, hot chocolate, coffee, toffee, honeycomb, rice pudding, red wine, fruit compote and rocky road. The taste is bitter - sweet, rich roast, creamy, oily, cocoa, vinous, juicy, jammy fruit compote and sherry wine with a dry finish. Full body, fine carbonation and smooth mouth-feel. Slick, rich and rather enjoyable. Very nice indeed.
