Fruity aroma, rather sweet, almost like chewing gum. Taste is is still sweet and sugary, but the fruit adds some complexity. Astringent bitterness underneath. Well-hidden alcohol. Not 100% convincing. reakt (939), Greater London, England

Bottle sampled while watching Man U take the pistols out of Chelski at Stamford Bridge... you know where... Lightish brown with a VERY red hue and a slight film topping. Aroma is dominated by alcohol with notes of brown sauce and some very tangy sweet malt. Something very sweet and sour about it. Flavour is pretty much the same as the nose. Lashings of obvious but reasonably tasty alcohol. It’s drinkable but the alcohol is just too much. One for the beer monsters if you ask me... jbrus (4916), Delft, Netherlands
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 8, 2005 Bottled. Aroma of drief fruits, spices and apple. Redish brown color, small beige head, fair lace. Very sweet, port, dried fruits, light bitter. Syrupy, soft and flat, alcohol well hidden. Bit of a homebrew character but somehow still ok.

Very sweet and alcoholic taste. Roasted malts and liqueurish. Peppery finish. Filling mouthfeel, warming, nice. An alcoholics' beer - but in the nice way.
