500ml bottle from Bacchanalia, Cambridge. Hazy mid brown colour with lasting beige head. Good fruits and malt aroma. Dry malts in mouth, earthy hops throughout. Quite toffeeish. Some grapefruit. Rounded in mouth. Quite lovely hop on end. Quite a good toffee hop mix. Been looking for this for some time and I love the label. A little disappointed, expected more hop maybe.

Bought at Topper’s in Helana Montana. I thought it tasted a little chalk-y and I was not impressed. Page 92 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide and only 446 Classic Brews from the book to go.

Pours amber slightly hazed with a big rocky offfwhite head that stays well and laces the sides of the glass. Aromas of caramel malts and bittter grapefruit hops. Good bitter flavor throughout. Some grapefruit and pine but also good balance with the caramel malts. Quite balanced and smooth to drink. This one was a pleasant surprise

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a pretty, clear amber with a small, creamy, off-white head, Fat malt aroma with a wee touch of citrus. Medium-bodied with lightly sulphurous malt accents, some nuts and a rather dominant alcohol. Brutal bitterness in the finish. Not pleasant. 291006

This beer is amber in color with a lasting tan head. The aroma is not that strong and mostly malty. The hop character is more grassy than floral. The taste is very nice. It is harmonic with a nice dry bitterness in the finish. The beer is well carbonated and well balanced on the palate. It is medium to heavy bodied with a good balance between the relatively heavy malt character and the bitterness. You can feel the warmth of alcohol and together with the strong body it makes a very nice beer for winter evenings.
