AshtonMcCobb (1456) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - MAY 17, 2013
50cl bottle thanks to Jared. Pours dark chestnut with some red glints - a decent head. Toffee and biscuits on the nose, more on the taste plus some hazelnuts. The palate has a big structure and a big crunchy texture and the finish is relatively balanced if not a bit too much. Overall, a nice strong ale, but I’d hope to get different layers of flavours which it doesn;t deliver. Overall, a good beer but nothing special.

RichTheVillan (849) - West Midlands, ENGLAND - APR 28, 2013
Bottle from Tesco; I’m having a cheap Sunday afternoon beer ticking odyssey £10 for 6 bottles, I’m not afraid to drain pour if I don’t like. Dark brown pour with thin off white head, nutty dried fruit tinned fruit syrup aroma, sweet taste Demerara sugar with nuts (almonds) slight hint of toasty smoke. Great autumn/winter drink, it’s quite sunny out. Quality drank the lot!

LookMomNoHands (1060) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - APR 25, 2013
50 cl. bottle. Dark amber colour with a reddish hue. Small, tanned head. Sweet aroma with caramel malts, a good, dark frutiness. A roasted and bitter note. Some liqourice. Taste is bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes bitter with grassy hops and a hearthy amount of caramel malts. Nice strong one.

MalcolmTucker (513) - SCOTLAND - APR 23, 2013
Bottle. Rich malty aroma. More malt in the flavour with a rich earthy fruit element that partly reminds me of a Belgian dark ale. Clean bitter finish with a touch of warming booze.

A decent beer but I was not in love with this beer. It was the finish taste that i did not like about it.
