4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Very strong, and invitingly sweet aroma undercut by roasted malts and complemented by fruity esters and lightly spicy hops. Darkest mahogany brown body is topped by a thick, fine-bubbled, frothy, brown head that lasts well and coats the sides of the glass. Flavour offers everything the aroma suggests: it is quite hoppy, fairly bitter yet also quite sweet and the roasted malts are plentiful. Full-bodied with soft bubbly effervescence that keeps it from feeling cloying or heavy. Quite a remarkable beer! Cellar temperature. Bottle.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bread and some strong funk in the aroma. Flavor is dominated by spice, with some bittering hops and a little metallic taste in the finish. Not as good as some other efforts from Pretty Things, but still a fine beer.

Aroma has exotic, ripe fruits, some berries and vanilla. Like smelling a raspberry quark. Flavour is a bit messy with hops, raspberries, bilberries and vanilla. Very complex, unique and good!
