Feb 28, 2008 Small creamy offwhite shiny lasting head. Amber body. Nutty malty aroma with spicy peppery hops, somewhat light. Sweet earthy roasted almonds taste with notes of honey and caramel and some fruitiness. Aftertaste is a dry earthy wooden version of the same, with spicy, peppery hopes. Very nice! (0.5l draft at the Rover, Göteborg.)

Feb 17, 2008 Dark Copper with a disappearing white head.
The aroma features fruity citrus and berry fruit notes, a touch of caramel malt and minerally note. On the palate there is toffee malt, fruity and earthy hop, a peachy note, firm mouth feel, leading to a lasting bitter finish. Best Sheps beer I have ever had.

Feb 16, 2008 0.5 l bottle. Amber color with small head. Resiny and perfumed hops, biscuity and nutty maltiness and orange marmelade in the aroma. Pleasant bittersweet flavor with orange marmelade, fruity bitterness and caramelly complexity. Caramelly, biscuity, bitter and orangey finish. Balanced and pleasant, fairly rich flavor opposed to most of shepherd’s ales.

Feb 7, 2008 Shepherd Neame 1698 Celebration Ale is a very full bodied beer with a great filling and smooth taste. This English Strong Ale has a beautiful color and was served with a great head. I enjoyed two pints in Hong Kong while studying overseas.

Jan 27, 2008 (Draught at Bishop’s Arms, Vasagatan, Stockholm, 22 Jan 2008) Amber colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of dark fruit, nuts and malt sweetness shining through. Malty, nutty taste with citrus, dark fruit, solid malt sweetness and nicely balanced bitternes in the finish. Nice and balanced, but on the sweetish side.
