Leighton Profile

Very enjoyable. Of course very sweet. Very blossomy I would say. Ample honeysuckle. A slight pale wood note. Faint acidity. Warming finish. Highly enjoyable in small dose.

Gusher! A little earthy, low sweetness, some toast, grain, old leather. It’s not great.

Simple and drinkable. Pale bread, citrus, a little honeysuckle, biscuit, soft bitter straw. Fine.

Not bad, mellow signs of age, well toasted malts, earth, leather, toasted grains. Very basic but drinkable enough.

Moderate gusher! Seems it picked up a mild infection somewhere along the trail - but to positive effect. Subtle twangy dark fruit, mellow roast, dark malt, nip of toffee. Surprised by this, very enjoyable, not a lick of age.

Novelty. Pours hazed green. Tasted like Smarties. Tart, some lemon, chalky candies. Drinkable enough but Doesn’t rise above simple novelty.

Wow that’s good. Well toasted malts, rich piney hops, mellow oily bitterness. Nips of cocoa and burnt caramel. Great condition. Resinous, toasty finish. Superb.
