Greene King Strong Suffolk (Olde Suffolk)

Brewed by Greene King
Style: Old Ale
Bury St. Edmunds, England

Bottle. BB July 08. Dark ruby color with a big beige head. Aroma has lots of malt, some portwine notes, caramel and dark fruits and a bit of alcohol. A sweet malty flavor with brown sugar, some caramel, slightly spicy fruitiness, wood notes and an alcoholic edge. Finishes drier with light acidic roastiness. Medium-bodied. A decent beer, just doesn’t do it for me and I can’t really find any great aspect to this beer. Still quite drinkable.

Bottle. Pours dark ruby brow, thin off white head. Aroma is malty, spicy, honey, and dough. Flavor is the same and tastes like honey wheat pretzels. On the sweeter side. This would probably taste great from a cask at room temperature.

Deep auburn color with little head. Immediate aroma of bourbon. Fruity grapelike flavor with subtle but well blended bourbon oakiness. Not detecting much hopiness

500ml bottle. Dark brown with thin beige head. Boozy, malty, woody, belgian aroma. Reminds me of the dopplebocks. Very malty and dry, sweet yet sour after-taste, nice carbonation. Body is more of an 8% alc than 6%. Must be an English thing as the same can be said for the Fullers Vintage.

Bottled. This dark brown beer has a nicely complex aroma and flavour with dark fruity malt, caramel, vanilla and alcohol.

Dark murky brown with a good head. Slight charcoal and leather and smoked wood. Very complex and nice.

A hazy brown colour. Pale brown head. Some hints of apple in the nose. A little bit sour taste with aromas of prunes and oak and syrup and caramel. Suiteble sweetness. A bite of hops in the end.

Bottle, 50 cl - A dark amber brown beer with a beige head. Very honey sweet aroma with strong fruity notes, and hints of nuts. Flavor is malty with hints of honey and nuts, ends with a pleasant dryness. Enjoyable beer!
