3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
EYEfeel: beige coloured foam, persistent in my glass, mainly fine bubbles. The beer was dark red coloured (ambrato carico), slightly opalescent.
NOSEfeel: Smell of caramel and malt, and a hint of swet spices (cinnamon), not very pronounced overall.
MOUTHfeel: very malty sweet at the beginning, hot feeling in the throath. alcoholic bitterness very persistent. Hop bitterness (like smell) not very strong.
Overall: the beer was very (prevalently) sweet, probably too young (drunk in june ’13, best before april 2014). I had a butter biscuit covered with some chocolate: yum.

Bottle. Pours clear dark amber with white head that disappeared rather quickly. Aroma is malt, candy, spices, caramel. Flavor is very sweet, malt, caramel, alcohol, licorice, candy. I liked the sweetness at first, but perhaps it’s a bit too overwhelming.

Reddish brown body, almost transparent, low carbonated. Little head, diminishes quickly into a thin film. Powerful aroma, led by caramel, mature fruits, wine, cherry and a little of honey. Strong body, mellow, thick mouthfeel, warm and sweet finish. Complex, deep and amazingly balanced taste. Caramel, spices, cherry. Alcohol amazingly masked.

UPDATED: JUN 3, 2013 Had high expectations of this, massive sherry and vegetable nose slightly spicy colour is murky brown toilet water. Taste is parsnip root veg slight caramel. Like a supercharged anchor steam. Definitely has the anchor ’house’ taste. It had been in my fridgr for weeks but fortunately it improved once warmed. Good.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 7/20
The aroma is fruit forward. Pours a cloudy reddish brown with a thin off-white ring and no lacing. The taste is dark pitted fruit, malt, and a hint of alcohol. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Overall, ok, but I like Old Gaurdian much bettere.
4.3 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Unknown vintage, but the bottle reads "10D" in a label box. Tasted side by side with a 2013 Bigfoot. Nice, rich amber color with plenty of eggshell head, just a hair darker than the BF. Aroma is deep caramel, sweet and boozy, less hoppy than the BF. Some dark cherry, sweet tea, and bourbon notes come out in the aroma as it warms. Taste is an excellent balance of malt and hops, with no spikes at all.
