Allen (700), Wölflinswil, Switzerland Jul 31, 2007 Bottled 50cl. It pours a beautiful nut brown ale with a nicely remaining whitish head. The nose is mostly of earthy hops. Hints of caramel - Nice full aromas. The taste is very hoppy with hints of wild strawberries. Earthy. A good mouthfeel. Quite a lot of caramel with some nuts. The finish is dry hoppy and surprisingly strong. Very enjoyable. This beer leaves a nice lacing. rauchbier (2877), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England Sep 16, 2005 Bottle, from Somerfield. Copper bronze, thin white head and gentle condition. Buttery malt aromas with a hint of earthy hops. Soft and sweet initialy in the mouth but with a developing hop note that becomes quite metallic with time. Short malt and caramel in the finish with a late hint of flowery hoppiness.

Doppelganger (1214), Oxford, Oxfordshire, England Apr 11, 2007 Bottle, Summerfield. Pours copper with a cap of light beige foam. Aroma is vaguely grassy, a bit of mint and white bread.
