Apr 27, 2007 Bottle. Light fruity malt aroma. Cloudy reddish brown with nice big head and lacing. Cherry malt flavor up front with a mild hops finish. High carbonation. Sort of like a light Belgian strong ale - more fruity than malty.

Apr 26, 2007 16.9oz brown bottle from Florian’s. Hazy brick-reddish/brown with around an inch of off-white head that leaves a good amount of lacing. Diacetyl plays a big part in the aroma with a fair bit of malt. Biscuit malt and earthy hops dominate the flavor with undertones of diacetyl. Very well balanced. Full flavored. Full bodied with a good amount of carbonation to support it. Drinkable as well. This is a damn good English ale. I’m quite impressed, and will deffinitely be picking this one up again.

Apr 24, 2007 (500 ml bottle from Systembolaget, though from April 2007 it’s not going to be delivered any more within Swedish Systembolaget) Clear dark brown to red color, tan head. Sweet borderline raissin scent, feels dark. Also some butter and alcohol. Harsh bitter taste, husky and not pleasant. Dry roasted coffee bean aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel. Low hop bitterness, but high grains bitterness, not to my liking.

Apr 12, 2007 bottle from my local indy, pours a very dark amber, long lasting head and lacing all the way down my skinny glass. strong malt aroma with some serious sweetness too. caramel, fruit cake and sweetness in the mouth, hints of some fruits, possibly orange. levels out to a fine dry bitterness, lingers nicely....one to buy again

Apr 3, 2007 Updated: May 26, 2007Deep ruby pour, slowly cascading tan head with orange swirls. Good retention and miniscule lacing. Aroma is sweet malts, toasty but buttery, currants, wood, Viognier grapes and licorice. Flavor is much the same with a bitter addition of hops and richer still malts. Mild bitterness cuts through the malts and provides a medium bodied and well rounded, balanced mouthfeel. Finishes warm, crisp and mildly spicy, dried hops lingering. Not bad, but not a very satisfying ESA.
