Damn you John Sleeman I want my 2.50 back You jerk Actually it’s not that bad, not much honey, but still some great malts, almost tastes like real barley was used in the brewing process, which is always a plus It’s one of those beers with a smooth yet rough mouthfeel, which isn’t easy to pull off. It’s still not that great though, but, not horrible. They’ve done worse.

341 mL bottle. Pours golden orange/amber, clear, with a lacing white head. Slight malty aroma with mild whiff of honey. Flavour is mellow, honey and malt. Slight bitterness in the finish.

Nice hazy copper color. Some aroma of cereals, caramel, light Bourbon vanilla, apples. Dry mouthfeel, with a correct caramel flavor, light residual sugars, a bit of fruitness. Pleasant.

alcohol, brown, white foam, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, medium body, average carbonation,

Pours a golden copper colour with minimal white head. Sweet malt aroma, follows through to the inital taste, a bit of honey detected. Ends with a slight hop aftertaste. Not a bad effort.

Nice sweet aroma and taste with a nice subtle bitterness in the aftertaste.

Very clean taste to find out that this is a ’dark beer.’ Smooth and honey aroma fairly accurately describes the taste.
