| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 20, 2007 Bottled@Poirotti’s Skotoberfest 2007. Surprise found among the Broughton’s. Rubyish amber colour with a small, but longlasting beigeish head. Sweet caramel malts and some slight hoppyness and raisins in the nose. Flavour is a lot of fruity hops, with some caramel malts and raisins. Aftertaste is like cherrycores. A really pleasant thing. omhper (12224), Stockholm, Sweden

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 11, 2009 Bottled Although this beer was just one day past its best before there were slight signs of oxidation and fustiness. It’s dark ruby in colour and has a short lived off white head. Old nose together with fruit and alcohol. The same in the mouth. The flavour punches above its weight, and it drinks like a below average strength English barley wine. I liked it.

Aroma has nice malt and caramel. Taste is hoppy, caramel, some chocolate and a nice bitter finish that also has some roasted malt. Nice medium mouthfeel, with low carbonation. A good and interesting ale. leaparsons (4731), Leicester, Leicestershire, England
