<i>A Mes rate: bottle at Chris O’s Post GBBF Tasting.</i><br />Amber with some white froth. Harsh alcohol and metal. Really bad. Kim has called it perfectly. "Boozy nonsense."

<i> <b> Picked up at Belingers Jet Garage, Grove near Wantage, Oxon, consumed in Frank, camper 16-09-08 </i> </b> Pours looking quite a stunner lovely copper colour with a small white head and great clarity. Tastes good, rich cinder toffee touch of alcohol can overtake proceedings occasionally. This is quite heavy but for my first time on it I’m really quite happy with it.

Amber colour. Aroma is alcoholic and metallic, with some grain. Flavour has caramel malts and alcohol. Average.

Bottled@Chris O Post GBBF Tasting. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is alcohol, malts and that’s pretty much it. Flavour is malts, harsh alcoholic sweetness with some grass in the finish.

Clear amber with large white head. Metalic notes in the aroma with hints of caramel. Sweet flavor with caramel, malty and alcohol notes. Boozy nonsense...
