Bottle from John’s Market. Dated Oct 5. No air in the bottle, the cork is touching the beer. The got stuck on the way out, cracked and broke in half. Had to use a corkscrew to remove it. Light but lasting head. Dark reddish copper beer. Aromatic caramel malt aroma. Flavour is straight forward caramel with European yeast. As you get into it some soft spice appears in the finish and it comes across a little more complex than the first interpretation.
