Overall
Score
7.7
Nose
Pick n mix. Fudge and marshmallow, gummy bears, bon bons and lumps of coal. Spring blossom and bright orange fruit.
Palate
Fizzy texture. Vanilla, marshmallow and caramel gives way to a sticky green hop funk, plus some cured meat. Barbecue smoke drifts in, carrying notes of grilled chicken drumsticks.
Finish
Barbecued meat and beer. What more could you want?
Comment
This goes from nought to 100 in two seconds. One minute it’s vanilla softness, the next it’s gutsy and funky.
