(Cask at GBBF, London, 4 Aug) Colour is golden yellow with green tinges, almost no head. Nose is fruity with lemon and lime. Taste is fruity with notes of lemon and a balanced finish with notes of grassy hops. Well made and refreshing, but a bit on the thin side and not really exciting.

A hazy orange beer with a pinkish shine underneath a white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of cowberries as well as spices - amonst them cinnamon. The flavor is sweet and very spicy, but the cowberries also makes an impression, leading to an OK dry end.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 06. Black beer with deige disappearing head. Very nice aroma. Really nice mild. Lovely oily feel. Carries the extra alcohol well. Intense dark malt flavours. Good mild.

Cask gravity Reading BF 06. Black beer with disappearing beige head. Bit of a thin porter, I certainly didn’t get any port out of it. Some nice tarryness, just not very much else

A pitch black beer with a thin light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor is slightly acidic with light notes of chocolate, and a dry end. I like the aroma, but the flavor lacks power and sweetness.

(Bottle 50 cl) A black beer with a tint of red and basically no head. Vague aroma of burned malt. Quite flat and watery with accents of roasted malt and a vague acidity. Not really a good experience. 160206

An orange beer with sediment floating around and a thin off-white head. THe aroma is spicy with ginger coming strongly thru, while the flavor is dusty from the hops, combined with strong notes of ginger.

A hazy orange beer with a small orange head. The aroma is sweet and very fresh with notes of pebermint, fruits, and ginger. The flavor is spicy and fruity combined with notes of ginger, leading to a dry end, but the body is thin.
