Commercial Description:
This is a traditional English old ale and very true to type. A strong beer, full bodied with an initial deceptive sweetness, but with hops enough to give a dry finish. It is definitely a beer to be savoured rather than quaffed. It slips down like velvet and makes an ideal partner for rich fruitcake and similar seasonal fare. Available August.

Bottle (500ml), vintage 07. Poured pale copper with a large, fluffy, domed, off-white head which lasted amazingly. A tropical fruit aroma with a burst of piney/fruity hops, strong notes of passionfruit; pineapple, mango, some apricot marmalade and sweet toffee malt. Flavor was a tropical fruity hop bitterness with sweet stonefruits (peaches, apricots), toffee malts, caramel, red berries, light notes of roasted nuts and some resin in the finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation, a dry/resiny mouthfeel, somewhat syrupy texture and a good finish. Very drinkable but seemed a little sweet and cloying at times.

Bottled @ Aarhus beerfestival 2008. Aroma has sweet honey and raisin malts. Cloudy, orange coloured with an offwhite head. Taste starts (a bit too) sweet and finishes more bitter and dry. It has honey, some yeast and fruitiness (raisin).

Århus2008. 50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a fully disappearing head. Mild spiced and light hoppy aroma. Light breadish and spiced flavour foes into a finish that is light spiced and a bit dull.
