My nightcap on 12th June 2015 after three other ’bird’ named beers. 330ml bottle: BBE Feb 2016, obtained from the brewery on a visit earlier this year. Poured slowly into a stemmed tulip (twice, got the size wrong) at home. Red hue to the dark brown body, the head a wispy off-white affair on both pours. The nose was like a fruit salad soaked in malty molasses a day too long for the cake mix, the taste similar in nature. Malty sweetness with a fruity backdrop which blend into a really interesting and deep flavoured beer, red berries push other fruit notes to the side, red wine/sherry like flavours come through as the beer warms a little: complex and very, very good.

Bottle from the brewery. Poured a clear dark brown with a broken off white head. The aroma is rich and surprisingly alcoholic leading to a strong bitter flavour with a malt alcohol liqourice palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Could do with just a little more alcohol I feel. It needs to burn a little more than it does.
