COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle conditioned. 500ml bottles.
Ingredients: Maris Otter, Crystal and Black malts; Northdown hops plus Cascade at the end of the boil.
"A beer conceived by Head Brewer Jeremy Moss, to celebrate the return of Brakspear brewing to Oxfordshire. This is a triple fermented, triple hopped strong beer, packaged in individually numbered bottles. With its high alcohol content and bottle conditioning, this is a beer that will go on to develop further complexity as it matures in its bottle."

Seffle (23) - Mölndal, SWEDEN - MAY 16, 2013
Flaska från Systemet. Man känner att den är så stark. Alkoholen och såritsötman går igenom men inte oangenämt. Den vinner i längden. Från början tyckte jag den smakade hemkört men sedan kom kvaliteterna fram. Belgiskt stuk. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

zenkis (247) - Ogre, LATVIA - MAY 7, 2013
Pours clear copper reddish with white top, average lasting, middle lacing ratio. Aroma - dominant candy backbone with pine notes, also a bit earthy and oaky. Taste - below medium spicy, below medium malty sweetness, good above average bitter from hopping, a bit sour-sweet at late stages. Palate - medium bodied, thick texture, mild dry finish. O.A. - very good English ale, but I would prefer more complex flavor, more maturated, more old. But this one is decent candy-pine(y) sample, enjoyable.

aletiosso (37) - São Paulo, BRAZIL - MAY 4, 2013
Cor marrom cor de Madeira. Pouca firmação de espuma que se esvai rapidamente. Pouco aroma, um pouco de malte, lúpulo. No sabor, baixo dulçor, com bom amargor, mas sem personalidade. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Senap (50) - Uppsala, SWEDEN - APR 30, 2013
Fruktig med bra balans mellan sötma och beska. Mjuk ton - lite mjölkig. Riktigt skaplig faktiskt.

Osprey87 (531) - London via, WALES - MAR 14, 2013
Aug 2012 bottle, room temp, nice - sweet, no ethanoly sharpness like you get with some similar beers, balanced taste, bittersweet finish. A good strong ale, reminds me of a Belgian-style beer. Nice and would consider another.

Rätt tråkig öl faktiskt. Söt och tydlig smak av alkohol. Liten beska i eftersmak.
