An unapologetic beer, with a bittersweet start, sweeter finish, and earthy, bitter middle.

Small beige head atop clear red-brown body. Aroma is medium sweet, cherry, caramel. Taste is medium sweet, nutty, caramel, some cherry, minimal earthy bitterness. Medium body.

341ml bottle acquired in trade with blankboy (thanks!). Poured a deeper reddish / brown with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of toasted nuts, caramel and light chocolate. Tastes of toasted nuts, caramel, cocoa, and toffee. Thinner body.

dark amber colour, few head, quite an unorthodox taste, cherry, sweet with some bitterness - strange but pleasant

Sweet fieldberries still soiled by the earth they have been picked from…They are a few days old though and are starting to dry up…

From a 660 ml bottle. Dark amber ale with a thin off-white head. Rich nutty aroma. Also malty with a faint cola aroma and some fruitiness. Flavour is also nutty and well-balanced by faint bitterness. A simple, but well-crafted session beer.
