Botle from Bitter Virtue. Sweetish brown bitter with unpleasant phenolic yeast flavours. Poorly bottled and the beer itself seems underwhelming

Bottled. Amber color. Toffee and a hint of licorice in the aroma. Sweet, malty, salty flavor with licorice and toffee. A bit onedimensional and thin, but certainly not unpleasant.

Bottle. Reddish brown beer with a weak head. The aroma is very weak with a hint of malt. The flavour is quite flat, weak and mildly malty and dry. Overall a poor beer.

Bottled. Aroma has caramel malts and some hoppiness. Clear, copper coloured iwth a lasting, offwhite head. Taste is quite sweet with much caramel malts, some spicyness and hops. Bit sticky. Bit unbalanced. Not my cup of tea.

Bottle@BlindTastingSession. Very sweet aroma of raisin, molasses and laurel. Copper color, beige head, fair lace. Sweet but less sweet than the aroma suggests. Hint of a sour undertone, very light bitter. Licorice wood, light nutty, some rust in the finish. Sticky with a light dry finish.
