Bottle at home ... HUGE thanks to Fin for this beast ... deep brown ... thin creamy tan head ... This has the oddest of noses ... very fruity ... almost sour but its not ... rich full maybe a little nutty ... flavour is again very rich and intense ... little salt .. big toffee ... lots of wood ... oak ... beach ... cedar ... very woody ...little bitter ... No idea if this is same batch fin rated but its BBF Sept 09 so it probably is... its developed more carbonation as its definitly not flat ... Its almsot a rich sour ale... but without the sourness.. and a little cheesyness
Bottle in a mixed case that was kindly picked up for me by Vale Brewery Nov 08. I am not 100% certain what the style of this beer is and would be quite happy for this to be changed if others disagree with Old Ale. Pours black leeching to a brown colour at the edges, oily dark and bitter beer that sends out snake like strands of bitterness and then tempers them with a touch of grand marnier. Really interesting beer but another that was quite flat and had no life about it. I was starting to get a little dissappointed that my whole case of beers were going to be like this but the Anti Egalitarian Stout was good and lively thankfully. A6 A4 F7 P3 OV14 3.4
