Bottle 144005. Pours coppery and red with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Sweet malty aroma with caramel, a touch of alcohol, and dried fruit. Thick, rich, and creamy mouthfeel. Lots of malts, sweet, hints of brown sugar. Very nice. Warming, but the alcohol is hidden. It’d be nice to grab another one and cellar it for a whlie. Thanks Rach!

Appearance: Pours a clear amber that starts with a sudsy head, that quickly subsides. Aroma: Apples, spice, caramel, and pear. Taste: Caramel apple, light amounts of chocolate, and spicy hops. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied. Overall: A very nice ale, that I wish I had more of. Very balanced and flavorful.

A brozed-yellow colour, Hoppy, lightly bitter, lots of sediment, this beer tastes of a scotch whiskey. Id like to try an aged one.

(500 ml bottle (#139525, best before end ’11) via trade with BMan1113VR, thanks Andrew!) Big and malty...Pours hazy darkish coppery amber with a large somewhat lumpy yellowish-biege head. Big malty aroma of honey, vanilla and caramel with a bit of pine. Mouthfeel smooth and slightly thick. Thick, weepy, broken rings of lacing. Big malty flavor of honey, caramel and vanilla with a bit of pine. Big warming alcohol presence arises mid-palate and a nice bitter bite finishes it off. Quite nice, almost like a big bock with all the malt presence.

Cask at Ealing beer fest 2009. A good looking ruby pour with a fluffy head on top. Aroma of hops, caramel and fruit. Rich, caramel, fruity, sweet taste. A lovely warming brew that I have tried many vintages of. Very good indeed.
