Mar 2, 2006 65 cl bottle. Amber colour with a weak head. Very hoppy aroma and hints of caramel-malt. Also very hoppy with some quite much bitterness. Reminds me more of a IPA like anything else.

Clear, red-copper with a wispy head. Piney aroma with diacetyley caramel. The flavour is a nice hoppy pine with sigificant bitterness both in balance with malt sweetness and flavour. Medium body and lingering bitterness.

Dec 26, 2005 Bottle: Amber in color, large off-white head, foamy, wonderful lacing, mild carbonation. Malty aroma, subtle graininess. Rich maltiness, again with a very subtle grainy factor. Underlying hop bite that balances well with the malts. Body and mouthfeel are fairly average. Lingering bitterness well after the finish. Clean, and a solid example of the style. Would love it more had it been a touch thicker. Thanks Stephen for the bottle!
