bottle from nelsons. rich amber colour, off-white big bubbled head, which stood the test of time.very interesting and complex nose, fruity, earthy and somewhat homely with a bit of honey. Most delicate herbal flavours, highly unusual and bloody good. quite a bit of nettle and all sorts of strange herb flavours. it’s quite taken me by surprise. excellent and quirky little pint!

Bottle. Brown beer with a strong head. The aroma is fruity and malty and the flavour is smooth, quite bitter with a dry, toffee, and herbal finish. Overall a nice sweet, dry, and herbal beer.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Great British ale aroma - toasted sugars,slight western hop citrusity. Mostly dry, at times presenting as being rather bitter, but then it backs off. Peat-tangy and tannic. The western hops are just enough to give it a different twist. Aftertaste is a tangy starchiness. Slightly dark amber, flocculent thin head. Label needs work, good UK pint bottle. Thanks to my boss for bringing this back to Florida from a CAMRA festival.

Bottle @ Ardbeg Old Kiln cafe. Bright red with nice head. Bright hoppy aroma. Fizzy palate but nice body. Toasty flavors with rich malts. Very nice and balanced. Would love to try in cask format but the bottle is spot on.

Bottled. A hazy amber coloured beer with a rocky white head. The aroma at first has jammy fruits, but then piney and spicy hops kick in. More hops and berry fruits in the taste. An interesting mix of hop flavours. A nice skillful beer.
