Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - mid October to end February. Not on the brew schedule for 2006, so current status uncertain.
An easy drinking traditional style ale. Clean and refreshing yet dark and mysterious, Fisherman is a deep coppery red, conjuring up roasted nuts and dark chocolate, with a lingering taste of liquorice and dried fruits.

(Cask conditioned). Guest ale in the-first-pub-you-get-to-after-crossing-Tower-Brid of-the-Thames (you guessed it, I forgot the pub's name). Copper coloured, malty & nutty. Very tasty.

On cask @ Moan and Dove, 2/19/05. An enjoyable day spent in Western Mass with Maibockaddict and Mkobes. Dark cola brown body, light transluscent haze, with strong burgundy-red hues swirling about when held to the light. Moderate amount of light tan head perched atop. Aroma of yeast and vinousness (concord grapes, grapeskins), with some herbal notes (mostly black licorice, maybe some light clove-like notes) and a bit of chocolate. Definite English yeast gives of some fruity esters (ripe blueberries, apples, cherries). Flavor begins with a surprising hops apparency, though not overly bitter. More yeast intersparsed with notes of cocoa and fruit. Medium body, with a surprisingly firm carbonation for a hand-pumped beer. Slightly oily texture, ends with some bittersweet roast. I wish I could find this stuff near me, on cask.

Cask @ Akkurat, Stockholm Backlog 25 Nov 2004
Dark brown, almost like UK porter. Touch of salmiak, roasted, pears (?). Almost chewable palate. More malty than hoppy, even though you definately can taste the hops. A surprising beer from this brewery.

(Cask, The Wharf, Aalborg) - Dark reddish colour. Roasty, malty nose. The taste is predominantly malty, but with some interesting fruity notes in the background, leading into to a dry, slightly bitter finish.

Draught. Dark brown, creamy white head. Relatively sweet, but some roasty, rich notes. Malty, not very bitter. A good autumn/winter beer.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Bridge House Tower Bridge London (RB London Xmas Crawl 2004). A dark brown ruby tinted beer with caramel and malts in the nose. The taste is very malty with coffee flavours. Nice hidden alcohol.
