Bottle from Utobeer. Hazy copper with almost no head. Sharp fruity aroma, a bit sour, some spices as well. Sour fruit, caramel, spices flavours. Rich, full body. Quite nice.

Cask - White Cliffs Beer Festival 2009. Dark and hazy amber with the finest head possible. Syrup and honey aromas with some dark fruits. Almost like chugging back a bag of demerara with the amount of sweetness. A sweet, sweet syrupy body and a cloying mouthfeel. Was that a tooth I just swallowed? Not bad in halves though.

A Mes rate. Bottle at home thanks to Tom.
Murky amber brown, no head what so ever. Very cheesy aroma. Lots of thick malt. Rich and tangy but not that great. Flavour is similar but far too harshly sweet and sour. Finish lasts much too long unfortunately. Not great at all. Hope they had a good birthday though. I’m sure if they drank enough of this it got suitably messy.

Bottle from utobeer had at mes’s gaff. Alround rating: Bassive brown sugar sweetness, golden syrup, buttery dycetl hints, floral honey. Perhaps a bit one dimention(sarcasm).
