Burton Bridge Tickle Brain Ale

Bottle. Cloudy brown colour. Large, long lasting beige head. Sweet, toffee, dough, vanilla, orange, grapefruit-bitter finish. Medium-high carbonation - let it settle!

Bottle. Dark amber with big off whiter head. Sour aroma. Big full body with sour aftertaste. Quite unusual and not what I was expecting. Pretty good but I did not like the aftertaste.

Amber coloured body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of caramel and malt. Medium to Heavy-bodied; Super strong malt flavour with caramel showing through. Aftertaste contains a very strong finish that lasts long in the palate. I sampled this beer from Jeremy at Smokeless Joe’s after our May RB Party on 15-May-2004 in Toronto, Ontario.

Big head upon pouring with a very lively body.The alcohol comes accross very clearly.Quite complex and certainly different for a British produced ale.

Reddish brown foaming out of the bottle upon opening. Sour dry fruit, raisen, and candy like banana nose. Foamy w/large sparkle, dry prune, currant, cherry and noticeable alcohol on the finish.

[At Fete de la Biere 2004, Lausanne] A dark amber beer with a fine lasting beige head. The aroma is faint of oranges. The flavor is very powerful, but rather simple for an Abbey Dubbel; it is very spicy of which some are hops and coriander, which gives it a dry end. The flavor also contains notes of citrus.

Bottled. Mahogany colour, deep and clear. Strong orange peel aroma lifts off with the ethanol. Flavour was mainly dominated by an orange peel (or zest) twang, which sat atop a malty base.

Bottle from Stirchley Wines and Spirits, Birmingham. Pineapple aroma, perhaps some fruit salad flavour Chewits too - yummy! Ruby brown colour, with a massive fluffy head. Surprisingly light and fragrant, dewey in the mouth. Some strength in the finish. A unity of flavour - rose/grape with heavy malt and cognac tang. Quietly menacing, tasty and satisfying. Well worth checking out again.
