Dec 15, 2007 Bottle. Opaque, dark amber with a very lively off-white head. Aroma of red fruit, spice, yeast and marmalade. Mouth feel was chewy despite a fair bit of carbonation. Flavour of malt, citrus and a whiff of stem ginger with a short bitter finish. Enjoyable.

Nov 17, 2007 500ml bottle.
Slightly floral, very slightly gingery aroma. Taste is a definite but not bold malty base with dark resiny hoppy bitterness which sticks to the back of the mouth. Covers the alcohol very well, very drinkable, and quite moreish. Absolutely nothing wrong or negative about it. However, perhaps it’s too subtle - from a strong ale I want something bolder.
