750ml bottle from Londis Westholme stores, Goring on Thames, Oxon 03-05-08 Chesnut in clour with a large tan fluffy head. Yeast, malt and a slight soft sourness on the nose. Taste is sweet, malty and like a spicey toffeeness swirling around the mouth it gets a little sticky at times and as pleasant as it is I wish this bottle had of been a little smaller, nonetheless a decent beer.

Botella. Pours a hazy deep amber colour with a huge well lasting off-white head leaving a good lacing. Aroma of sweet well toasted malt, yeast, caramel and some sweet fruitiness. Good but bit thin mouthfeel. The flavour has a good well toasted maltiness, caramel, yeast, some dark fruits, mild bitter hoppiness and alcohol. The finish is sweet with a good maltiness and some yeast.

Aroma is a mild roasted scent. Color is a deep hazy orange brown with good carbonation and a tight tan head. Taste is mildly sweet. Starting with a light body it goes down easy with a slight crispness. Finish comes in with a mild sweet roasted malt flavor and a little caramel with hints of fruit, then ends with a very mellow bitterness. After taste is clean with a slight warming feel. This brew is much lightly then it looks, this is not a bad thing. Its a delicate flavor that gets better as it warms up. Don’t try this brew too cold, the bottle says drink it between 50°-55° and that’s where the flavor really shows up.

bottle. 1 helluva huge tan frothy head (good portion lasted throughout) into dark brown body. decent lacing. aromas of moderate fruit, honey, toffee, a light touch of alcohol. a touch of spices, and a good dose of malts. flavor is moderately sweet and bitter throughout with sweet disapating some in finish. moderate finish duration. watery texture. overall good scotch ale.

It had a dark brown body with a little tan head. The high ABV content was definitely noticeable, but did not ruin the beer.

Ruby pour heaped with a subsiding rocky beige head. Nose sweet and distinctly woody with rooty/earthy herbal notes like Jagermeister, liquorice, a hint of berry fruit, marzipan..ALCOHOL. Flavour initially caramelised sweetness, medicinal spice, a touch of plummy nectarine fruit, then almond, ALCOHOL bitterness and burn. If this was in a can and brewed by Grolsch or Tennent’s nobody would give it anything. 750ml is way too much. Corked it, stuck it in the fridge for the missus, and had a Westvleteren to take the taste away.

Hazy brown with earthy aroma mixed with caramelized sugar. Tastes very sugary and sweet, almost candy-like with a chalky finish. Alcohol is a bit noticeable too.
