330ml bottle. Yummy cocoa powder aroma at first, some medicine/bandaid, damp rotting leaves, leather, caramel, slightly smokey, interesting in a good way. Wonderful deep rich copper hue with a large slowly diminishing light beige creamy frothy head and good lacing. Mild-medium caramel sweetness, moderate-heavy bitterness, mild sourness. Soft carbonation, light-medium body, long dry peppery very astringent finish. Different and enjoyable.

This is going to have to meet a higher standard as this is a style I’m quite keen on. Nutty brown amber colour. Aromas of nutty chocolate and amber malt, a bit of tangerine peel as well. Not a bad aroma at all. In terms of flavour there’s good bitterness and caramel. Lingering flavour and lengthy mouthfeel. A pleasant surprise actually.

very bitter, actually over bittered and grassy. No hop aroma or flavour - dissapointing.

Tap at Beervana 2011. Nose shows light citrus, grass and some leaves. Very ’forest-like.’ Citrus and grassy hoppage balanced out by slightly sweet caramel malts. Enjoyed this one
