Bottle @ Chris O. Pours a hazy amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty dark fruit aroma. Fruity malty dark fruit flavor with some hints of caramel. Has a fruity malty dark fruit finish.

A Mes rate. Bottle at Chris O’s "Has anyone seen my stool?" tasting.
Cleanish light amber coloured with a thin beige head. A good dryish feeling barley wine with plenty of rich and warming boozy character. Lots of caramel and fruit and just a hint of pepper in the finish. Decent stuff.

Bottle at ChrisO "I’m Trying to see the Stool" pre GBBF2010 tasting. Sweet, some choc, some fruit, some ceiling. This was my beer I was drinking when the plaster fell from the roof in the oddest moment of any tasting I have been at.

From the Bottle at Chris O’s pre GBBF tasting, Kensal Rise 31/07/2010 Fruity aroma. Golden coloured smooth on the palate and strong in alcohol with a little dryness in a warming malt finish.

Bottled@The Chriso rock the roof down pre-GBBF tasting. Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is toffee, alcohol, wood, some dark dry fruits as well as some caramel. Flavour is fruits, mildly toffeeish, some alcohol and mild dark dry fruits. Wellbalanced and nice.

Bottle @ Chriso’s pre-GBBF ’Raise the Roof’ Tasting ’10. My share was probably towards the end, if not the bottom of the bottle as it poured a particulate copper/amber with a thin and disappearing dark tan head leaving a lingering ring of lace. Yeasty, earthy and oaky aromas with dried fruit, bread and tobacco on the tongue and some bourbon-esque heat. Soft, a touch oily with low carbonation on a medium body with some finishing alcohol sting.

bottle at Chris O’s Grand tasting ... murjy brown .... sweet toffeee malt nose .... again its same ... sweet fruity blackcurrant.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma has strong notes of caramel as well as medium notes of malt and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, alcohol, and bread.
