2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
15th April 2009
Hazy dark red-brown beer. Low carbonation. Lots of malt with an undertone of chocolate. Blends nicely in to a moderately fruity (but not hoppy) mid. Finishes semi dry with a little aniseedy alcohol peeping through! Nicely joined up but overall is lacking something!

Bottle @ pre-GBBF shindig, August 2009, purchased from Keen’s stash of weird and wonderful UK bottles at Pigs Ear 2008. Dark brown. Decent condition. Sweetish and a little woody. Some boozy fruit but certainly is quite drinkable.
