May 24, 2008 Tea colored oily looking brew with only a thin icing of head. A scant aroma of hop with fruit and floral notes. No carbonation. Bittered like an ESB. Flavors of grass, caramel, a bit of applesauce, and biscuit. Bitterness arrives in 3 distinct waves at each sip. The bitterness is dry and it blends nicely with the sweeter caramel malt.

May 22, 2008 Bottle; poured a dark orange with a smallish off white head. Aroma was earthy and nutty; some toasted malt, caramel and grass. Soft on the palate; not alot of carbonation. Decently bitter finish. Could have had more flavor; a little dull. However, there was some decent caramel and nutty maltiness. Good for the style.

May 16, 2008 [cask at Back of Beyond, Reading] I’ve never had this style before, so didn’t know what to expect.. Was pleasantly surprised. It was sweet, oaky, woody, malty, uncarbonated, and rather lovely. Despite being made using a lagering process, this is far more like a sweet ale than a lager.

May 11, 2008 cask at jdw.Nose of nutty malt. Mahogany in colour, little fluffy head. Still sweet and nutty in flavour with a nicely rounded bitter hop finish. Refreshing, light and well hidden percentage.

May 6, 2008 This was my first experience with this style, so I was not really sure what to expect. I think this is vastly underrated/underappreciated. This has a great mouthfeel, exceptionally dry, but has a bit of a hazy butterscotch flavor, with a strong biscuity maltiness. Very soft, and clean with a bit of toasted maltiness. This is way drinkable.

Apr 17, 2008 Cask, Hoylake Lights. My first ’cellar ’ beer. Dark amber colour with a lingering medium white head. Quite a bit of lacing. Malty, hazelnut aroma, some hops too. Nice mouthfeel, creamyish body with a smooth dry hoppy taste. This has got me interested in seeking out something similar within the genre.

Apr 13, 2008 Cask at JDW, The Penny Black, Bicester, Oxon 09-04-08 Pours clear amber with a small white clinging head some nuittiness on the nose. Tastes very soft in the mouth, some light toasted flavours to this, some grain and sweet maltiness, a lovely beer and yet another corker at a JDW.
