Bright, clear amber body with a lasting head. Whilst this beer doesn’t taste offensive it has a slight infection that dominates the palate and so not a true rating.

Bottle. Pours a wonderful deep mahongany with a nice offwhite head. Aromas are quite floral with some malt. A little strange to be honest. Falvours of sweet malt, toffee and nuts. Reasonably bitter on the finish with some resiny hops.on the finish. Nicely balanced and mouthfeel is just about perfect. Strange aromas distracted a little from what would have been a really nice beer.

Bottle. Clear dark amber brown with a lively almond coloured head that leaves nice lacing down the glass. Nutty toffee aroma. Nice toasty flavour, roasted nuts, toffee, hints of chocolate. Bitter finish. Very flavourful with a nice smooth mouthfeel. Delicious.

Really good beer. Aroma of soft malt, some caramel, floral hops, touch of diacetyl and fruit esters. Large pillowy head, sticky lace, stream of fine bubbles, dark copper, awesome retention. Fruity and slightly earthy hops, some ester character, chocolate and toasty mid-palate, balanced, sharpish bitter finish, slightly minerally. Medium body, slightly over carbed.

Draught. Pours amber with a medium white head. Malt and light fruity tones. The mouthfeel is quite thin and low bitterness in the finish. Not quite there for the style.

Bottle, pours an attractive dark amber with a voluminous off white head. A pleasant aroma combining juicy and flowery characteristics. The malt loses it appeal in the mouth, being quite grainy and thin on the palate. I also get an unfortunate metalicness. The bitter finish saves it somewhat. I was really looking forward to this from the aroma, but it fails in the mouth.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, amber golden with a dense, bubbly, white head. Lightly nutty nose. Medium in body with lightly burned notes, an ashy touch and some nut accents before a dry finish. Decent but unspectacular. 040208

Clear amber with normal size white head. Aroma with malt and hops. Taste with hops and dry smoke as the dominating. Traces of smoke or burned malt in the aftertaste.
