Bottled. Amber coloured. Unclear. Fluffy light beige head. Fruity and light herbal aroma. Flavour is light roasty and herbal with a somewhat sweet and fruity touch. Is quite thin bodied. Vaguely bitter in the end, which is dominated by fruits and sweetness.

Bottle: Quite a murky one this, deep brown. Good beige head. Malt and damp mould on the nose. Oooh, a very interesting flavour. Sweet maltiness mingled with an almost savoury burnt flavour. Totally drinkable and the smoky finish is very satisfying.

A Mes rate: 50cl bottle that Sim picked up from somewhere.
Thick syrupy brown with a creamy beige head. Think this may be just on the way to being ropey. Floral and perfumey wiith plenty of fruit and some toffee. Burnt malt, quite chewy. Far from great but not as bad as I thought initially. Tastes very slightly infected, I reckon it’s just on the turn.
