Greene King Harvest

Dark brown cola like colour with a foamy light brown head. Malty nose with brown sugar and caramel. Caramel and toasted malt flavour. A reasonable beer

Bottled. Deep amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is strong wooden notes, along with caramell malts and some mild raisiny notes. Flavour is quite much the same. Still rather nice though even though it was

Bottled 275 ml (at Chriso, bottle from SilkTork, BB 05/1990). Dark brown color, small off-white head. Raisins and port in the nose. Very watery. Mild fruity flavor of raisins and pear. Sherryish palate. Aged very well.

This was available today in bottles at the Chequers, Barley, Hertfordshire. I was offered either a bottle from the fridge or one at room temperature. I chose the latter. It poured dark brown with a small off white head. Aroma was sweet and malty. The taste had some fruity sourness and a hint of liquorice. Mid bitter finish. Plenty of flavour for a mere 3%. Thought it was pretty good, really.

275ml bottle. From Shropshire - vintage 1989. In good condition with a little carbonation - faint cardboard notes, and quite a dry mouthfeel even though there’s fair degree of sweetness in the flavour. A decent enough malty dark beer with pleasant sweetness and a rolling red fruit in the mouth - somewhere between strawberries and raspberries with some cranberries thrown in. A rollicking good brown ale!

Bottled. Deep brown coloured. Very malty aroma with notes of raisins. Very sweet and malty flavour, notes of raisins again. Medium bodied for a 3%ABV brew.
