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

Hazy orange look with a huge ligt orange head. Aroma is very toffee like, with notes of butter and something bitter roased. The hobs gives it a minor grassy scent, but i still think the malts are more dominating in the aroma. The flavor however is mostly bitter, acctually not much sweetness at all. The mouth aroma reveals a deeper hob profile than the aroma, along with some notes of toasted bread. Finish is bitter towards harch, and sticks for awhile.

Rating #300!! Pours a beautiful, luminous hazy red color. Head is big, white, frothy and long lasting. It laces greatly and leaves a film. Aroma is diverse, herbal, fruity with notes of apricots, grass, strawberry, raspberries and cherries. Cute but not impressive. Flavor is bittersweet, fruity with notes of cherries, berries, bitter herbs, grass and slight touches of distilled liquors and wood. I like it. Mouthfeel is medium to light, balanced, medium carbonation. Juicy texture. The finish is dry, short and bitter. I can feel a slight alcoholic warming effect. A good, well-crafted, subtle and balanced english Ale, but not as great as I expected.

Nez de houblon terreux et légèrement herbeux, malté de caramel aux notes terreuses et rôties, légèrement fruité (léger de pommes et d’agrumes, traces de cerises), léger de fumée de cigarette et de biscuits ainsi que des notes de noix et boisées (fût de chêne). Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement bas et une texture crémeuse. Goût moyennement amer de houblon terreux (présent toute la gorgée), légèrement fruité (léger de pommes, notes de cerises, de pêche et d’agrumes) et avec un goût de tabac de cigarette et des notes boisées (traces de fût de chêne) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût un goût malté de caramel légèrement rôti et terreux ainsi qu’un léger goût de biscuits puis en finale, le goût de houblon reprend le dessus en étant plus herbeux et est accompagné d’un léger goût de noix asséchant ainsi que des notes d’alcool très doux.
