zacgillbanks	3.4 Firebrick Tormit Heed "Agreeable Autumn ale. A malty, fruity, deep amber beer. A complex grain bill and hopping give a long palate and many background flavours including toffee, Autumn fruits, warm orange and liquorice. The word Tormit came from 19th Century Northern dialect and meant Turnip. Our label shows Wylie's fantastic "Turnip Keepers Lantern" and depicts the legend of Jack O' Lantern, with an added bicycle to speed up Jack's search! Our rich warming beer should conjure up the excitement and smells of childhood autumn evenings, and Halloween." 500ml Bottle from A Taste of Northumbria. Drank appropriately on Halloween! Copper coloured with a thin white head. It has a nutty, dried fruit and chocolate flavour with roasted notes, plum and liquorice on the finish. Good. Thursday, October 31, 2019
