Commercial Description:
Bottle Conditioned.
Ingredients: Maris Otter, Crystal and Black malts; Northdown hops plus Cascade at the end of the boil.
"A beer conceived by Head Brewer Jeremy Moss, to celebrate the return of Brakspear brewing to Oxfordshire. This is a triple fermented, triple hopped strong beer, packaged in individually numbered bottles. With its high alcohol content and bottle conditioning, this is a beer that will go on to develop further complexity as it matures in its bottle."

Bottle @ Beer Exposed, September 2008.
[my 400th English rating]
Pours a nice coppery amber with a small, creamy, off-white, film head. Aroma is lovely malty, light raspberries, grapes and caramel. Good, very creamy mouthfeel with elegant carbonation. Flavour is nice, good caramel, light raisin and raspeberries. Fine, elegant dryness in the finish while still maintaining sweetness and fruitiness. Nice.

pours a clear, fairly dark amber/red with no head. aromas of blackberry and raisin. flavour is juicy with orange-grapefruit hints but it is thin and over a little too quickly leaving an overly sweet and alcohol tang.

buttery, flowery and fruity aroma (sligtly caramel)?, nut brown colour. Malt and honey dominate the intitial taste, fading into citrus, but these are balanced perfectly by a crisp acid and slightly bitter finish. Rather solid palate - an excellent beer and dangerous with such a well disguised alcohol content - one of my current favourites. For some reason, an element of the taste of this reminds me of a Munich Weisse.
