Flaske. Enormt kraftigt brus på denne mørkebrune meget uklare øl, med en del proteinklumper i. Duften er dejlig maltet med en smule krydderi. Smagen er ogå rigtig fin, men der er bare den lille ting med udseendet der trækker en kende ned.

Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, GregClow, and Garthicus, courtesy of Harry. Dark brown, small white head. Caramel aroma, some alcohol, light spices - nice. Good taste - more caramel and malt, alcohol, rather sweet and spicy. Very good yet surprisingly very drinkable as well at this alcohol percentage.

Bottle 33cl. Pours a dark ruby murky colour with a small head and little carbonation. Very fruity smell, lot’s of sweet fruits there mixed in with some spices and raisins. Taste is also very sweet and fruity, can taste several fruits such as oranges, apples and vaguely some caramel. Very well balanced christmas beer with a good nice warmth when going down.

Bottle, Barleycorns, Nantwich. Easy there santa...lost a chunk of this all over the work surface as this exploded in to life. Strange looking grey tinged dark cloudy brown colour with a fair amount of sediment floating around. Aroma was spicy with some malt and dark fruit. Similar flavour which was sticky sweet and slightly cloying. Balance not quite there. Thought this would be a lot better; a let down.

Little hazy brown with a huge yet disappearing beige head. Sweet malty, spices, caramel, yeasty. Same could be said for flavours. I’d expect more. No traces of the crazy complexity of their brune.

Bottle that Loz’s parents picked up for me recently whilst in Bruges, consumed erly Nov’ 2008. Pours very dark brown with a creamy tan head, poured quite lively as well. Lovey soft yeasty spiciness, nice dark sticky fruits and loads of dark molassess, lovely beer.
