Sep 28, 2007 Cask at Stockholm Beer Festival. Hazy amber. Sweet with syrupy malt. Salty and vinous with near full bodied. Thick but quite soft mouthfeel, notes of molasses and a lot of caramel. Fruity and appley with a long resiny finish. Intense and warming, yet a bit young.

Golden-amber colour. Bright (actually no trace of residual yeast at the bottom of the bottle either). Thin head. Earthy, mushroomy nose with hints of obscure UK hops and diacetyl. Complex character - earthy, chalky, minerally - is more reminiscent of Yorkshire than London. Caramelly and toffee malts, lots of earth, hops like Typhoo tea and a brawny, woody, alcoholic finish. Damn fine - not as stellar as last year’s but an impressive bottle nonetheless.

Apr 27, 2008 50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a slowly diminishing and almost white head. Sweet fruity hops aroma. Light alcohol presence. Mild liqourice like flavour in addition. Ends with a mild lingering malt note. Nicely composed and balanced.
