Bottle purchased at Sainsburys, Kidlington, Oxon and consumed in a field at Towersey, Oxfordshire, 30-08-09 Pours amber with off-white head. Nice fruity beer with some reasonable bitterness, in fact getting slightly more bitters as it slips down. Bit malty and hops are noticeable, decent beer. A6 A3 F7 P3 Ov13 3.2

Bottle. Thick collared copper hinting at the creaminess beneath. Woodsy, discreetly spicy hop musk nudging into hazelnut, chocolate and wholemeal. Slick, woodsy and good, holding those hazelnut, chocolate, digestive and faint beansprout dankness notes all the way. Might be filtered, but doesn’t feel it. Rub of peppery English hopcone. Really well put together, and BrewDog aside, easily the pick of the Sainsbury’s haul so far...

Cask conditioned at The Odd Wheel Inn, Wembury, Devon. Brown amber with white head. This was a little flat but still a sweetish, malty beer with darker roasted malts. Good nose and perhaps a little thin on the palate there is a burnt husky taste through the finish. pretty decent.
