BA supported, roasty and dark malty aroma, notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, Port, Whisky, some wood, a touch of plum, smoked plum. Taste is BA supported, roasty and chocolately, dark malty, notes of dark chocolate, some cocoa, Port, Whisky, wood, a touch of peat, fruity overtones of plum and cherry, some alcohol.
Oily to viscous texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate, fine, soft to flat carbonation.
Relatively simple base beer, all complexity is due to the BA - very good, not outstanding.

6.9/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
330ml bottle [from 2025, but no vintage registered on label]. Opalescent, chestnut colour with ruby shimmer and average to huge, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Very earthy, leafy hoppy and slightly toasty caramel malty aroma, notes of tobacco, autumnal leaves, forest soil, moss, bark, fir cones, a weak touch of dark caramel. Taste is bitter, earthy, leafy hoppy and toasty, caramel malty with some residual sweetness, notes of tobacco, autumnal leaves, forest soil etc. again, some caramel, dark caramel, a nutty touch of acorn.
Slightly oily, watery texture, smooth and minimally greasy, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation.
Not exactly tasty in every aspect, but intriguing in its autumnal earthiness - quite unusual.
