Bottle shared at Cafe de la Gare. Pours brown with an off white head. Aroma of fruit, caramel and some yeast. Flavour is malt, caramel, light bitter, dark fruits. Medium body and carbonation.

A nice dark amber body with big rocky light tan head. Mild aroma with toffee, wholemeal bread, spruce and brown sugar, but not terribly sweet. Medium bitter body, very foamy mouth feel. Nice brew. Some roasted notes over the cookie like sweetness. (33cl bottle, very cheap)

cloudy brownish colour with cream coloured head. vanilla and other sweet esters and a prune fruit note as well. Flavours are rounded by carbonation, has a certain acidity or tartness about it and a tip of the tongue burn of sorts. flavours reminiscient rusty wire, if anybody can image that, and slightly fruity & vanillin.

Bottle at DHL during Paul’s Pre-Wedding Lads-Only Weekend. Vintage 1986, graciously shared by Louis. Pours clear, red-brown with a creamy, tan head. Good stuff, has aged beautifully. Very sweet with lots of candi sugar, caramel and cake. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Faint warmth on the finish, sticky sweet with caramel and dark fruits, light toasty candi sugar. Excellent beer.

caramel, roasty, floral, brown, cloudy, frothy, tan foam, light sweetness, medium bitterness, lightly sour, full body, medium body, thin feel, lively, Went very well with Bar-b-q ribs. Would definitely recommend.

330ml bottle. Slightly hazy, dark amber colour with tan head that leaves a little lace. Stewed fruit with a brown sugar edge, fairly muted nose with a bit of a vinous quality. A little light on the palate with a distinct taste I can’t put my finger on...but it’s not winning me over. There’s an almost chalky quality.

Bottle. Aroma of coffee and black raspberries. Taste is coffee with hints of liquorice. A bit dry, but not bitter. Nice beer, but nothing special.
