OHanlons Royal Oak

500 ml, bb 07-18-06! Cloudy chestnut color with a huge spewing-out-of-the bottle head that is sticky and lasts forever. Aroma is earthy-spicy with some cooked sweet apples. Flavor is earthy pumpkin with root spices, maybe some Belgian horse blanket, and sweet-’n-sour apples and grapes. The palate is smooth, light-medium bodied, and a little watery. This one was obviously past its prime, but I enjoyed it.

Cask. Hazy amber colour with a small white head. Bittersweet fruity aroma and taste. Very softly carbonated.

Appearance: amber copper color. Great head, of ivory color, consistent, rocky and very persistent. Beautiful foam. Aroma: candied malty, medium toasty; honey, vanilla and wood touches. Sweet-fruity od read apples, peaches and pears. Good herbal-hoppy, slightly metallic. Flavor: sweet malty start, candy; sweet-fruity like peaches, apples, quince and pears; citric-dry-fruity like peel orange. Medium hoppy finish, persistent, with herby tones. Smoked and humidity wood aftertaste. Palate: light to medium body, soft and watery texture. Medium carbonation. Interesting beer, nice dryness and woody touches.

Cask. Cobber of color with a light brown head. An aroma with notes of sweets, raisins, apples, hops and crab apples. A flavor with notes of sweets, apples, raisins and with a bitter finish.

Rich malt aroma, some good hops, copper, pouring a small tan head. Taste is a pleasant malt, then fresh leafy hops. Light bodied, balanced, a good session ale. Thank You mds.

Bottle. High creamy and lasting off-white head. Hazy orange body. Fruity and flowery aroma with a touch of hops. Fruity and moterately bitter flavor. A bit watery with low carbonation and a short aftertaste.

Bottle 500ml. Pours a rich amber with a bubbly off-white head. Sweet aromas of dark fruits and malts, and a slight background metallic smell. Molasses certainly comes through in the flavour, along with plums, with a good hoppy kick. Reasonable carbonation, finished off by the bottle conditioning. Finishes on a long lingering bitter note. I certainly wouldn’t turn down the offer of another pint!

Bottle. Has Red color, hard and brilliant. The head is light, of a clear bronze color. The aroma is fruit, perhaps of very mature citruses, with something of caramel at heart. In paladar is smooth, with a light sweet, remembers many fruits to me (That good is). The hop is very right, almost imperceptible, but it is there. Long time that i did not find something equal. Today I will not continue proving other beers. I remain with this beer
