330ml bottle @ Chriso’s pre-GBBF ’Raise the Roof’ Tasting ’10. Poured with a disappearing, bubbly off-white head atop a dark orangey-brown body. Warm and oaky, vinuous berry and dried fruits with earthy malt tones on the aroma. Yeasty, earthy and woody with prune notes and a bittersweet dark, red berry finish. Some decent fruity hop in here too. Soft, medium to full body, a touch warm and oily with a dry fruity bitterness.

Bottle at Chris O’s ‘Raise the roof’ tasting. Cloudy light-brown pour. Meaty, earthy aromas with a hint of herbs and some light spices. Toffee, caramel and citrus flavours. Totally belies the nose. Very smooth. Malt laden finish with a slight bitterness. Different.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at chriso’s pre- GBBF ’Raise the Roof’ Shindig ’10. Brown. Odd and utterly indescribable aroma. Taste is the malt extract I was given as a child, allegedly to strengthen me, but in actuality making me a beer addict in later life. Some bitterness. Grows on you.
