Bottled. Darkish brown with a ruddy hue. Strong vineous aroma, sweet chewy stuff with a dryish finish. Not as smooth as I hoped for.

Bottle. Dark brown beer with little head. The aroma is fairly dry, malty with hints of weak coffee and chocolate. The flavour is initially dry but full of rich sweetness. Overall a fairly average beer.

Poured very flat from the bottle.Port like flavour with some acidity.Took some time to sink in-in the end I decided that I didn’t really like this one.Which is a pity as generally speaking Alcazar brew some excellent bottled beers,

Bottle. Deep dark brown with a small head. Aromas are nutty and earthy with raisins, fruity sourness and floral notes - thats not all - also getting fudge, brandy, some smokiness and, oddly, mint. Flavours are quite vineous - typical of an old ale. Also has chocolate, tobacco and smoky elements joined by a woody herbal character. Theres a lot going on here. Its a great beer.

Bottle. Red brownish colour with a small head. Great aroma of port and fruits. Taste is a bit disapointing though, dominated by port.
