Nov 8, 2004 A bit sour aroma. Reddish brown to dark amber colour. Strong mouthfeel, not alcoholic at all. Good hoppiness. Malty feeling with hints of caramel. Good beer.

Oct 31, 2004 Bottle, GBBF 2004. Amber, moderate white head and moderate condition. Sweet malt and caramel with some low roastiness in the nose. Sweet low barley wine like in the mouth and relatively subdued in the finish with a gentle syrupy maltiness dominating.

Oct 3, 2004 Sampled at the breweries sampling cafe and many times afterward later in the week.
Dark Brown.
I never really received much from the aroma. It was always subtle and somewhat fruity.
But what a taste. Each and every time. Medicinal up front. Lovely malt notes in the mid-palate; dried red apple, watermelon seed and plums. The lingering and outrageous finish was full of a coating malty sweetness and a faint hint of hop resins. I enjoyed this one a lot.

Sep 10, 2004 A rich and hoppy brew. Lots of prunes and raisins in the fruit profile. A bit like a barley wine, I suppose. I found the alcohol level a bit intrusive, bit, overall, I thought is was an interesting and palatable beer. It’s just that I’m rarely convinced that the extra alcohol really does much for the beer. I preferred the Pioneer Pale Ale too. Bottled at GBBF 2004.

Sep 2, 2004 Bottle. Quiet syruppy and sticky, quite raisiny and sweet, with a fair amount of hops, a bit sweet, the style really isn’t my bag, i preferred the Pioneer Pale Ale of the same brewery.

Aug 11, 2004 Updated: Aug 27, 2004Great British Beer Festival 2004 (Thursday Session). Very much like an IIPA. Heavy on the cascades, big malt base and lots of (well hidden) alcohol. As Silktork notes, this is rather crude. However, this stood up well to other highly hopped american styles at the GBBF
