500ml bottle from the Cheese & Wine Shop, Darlington. Clear deep orangey amber colour, foamy white head leaving lacing and aroma of fruity hop, resiny and some spice. Taste is sweetish malty, caramel, toffee with fruity notes, some orange rind citrus, hoppy, pine, and lots of grassy bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry warm grassy boozy finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle at pre-borefts tasting . Pours unclear yellow , small white head . Smell is a bit sweet . Taste is sweet . Sugar , some honey-barley character . No idea how this is a stout ( label reads blonde imperial stout ) . Drinkable , but nothing to go crazy over at all

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a clear light amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is light sweet malt, light nettle hop. The flavour is strong bitter with a rich aniseed alcoholic bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle @ Midlands Tasting Aug 14, at Richies Hop Palace. Pours gold with very slight haze. Liqueur aroma, English old ale crossed with a silky barley wine with a hint of onions and off flavours on the finish. Nice though.

Shared 750ml bottle at the Midland meet on 23rd Aug 2014. Poured a golden colour with a weak, thin white head. The aroma and taste reminded me of a sweet Lemon Meringue Pie sort of affair with plenty of alcohol thrown in for good measure. I took to it straight away.
