Burton Bridge Tickle Brain Ale

Brewed by Burton Bridge
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Burton-on-Trent, England

[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.

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy, dark orangey golden with a fine, small, creamy, beige coloured head. Aroma of yeast and alcohol. Sweetish flavours of caramel and overripe plums. Distinct, warming alcohol and a slightly sour edge in the finish. Interesting brew. 040805

Bottled. Reddish brown. Banana and almond aroma. Sweet and malty. Fruity and raisiny. Complex and powerful. Good and interesting.

Bottle. Hazy amber color with a off white head. Sweet malty aroma with notes of caramel and fruit. Malty flavor with spices and some fruity sweetness.

Bottle. Hazy orange coloured with an off white head. Fruity aroma of spices, earth and wood. Fruity flavour of apples and spices.

Cloudy dark amber. Candyish (rockets, oh yeah!), with lime and lots of phenols, with a hint of biscuity malt. Fruity taste (pear, slight peach), more phenolic that most in style. Stiff, flavourful, tasty.

Cloudy dark amber color; creamy head, dark and light shades, like a cappuccino. Well malty, sweet, warming. Not very complex, but enjoyable.

500ml bottle from Notts BF 07. Way too strong and unsubtle. Clear chestnut colour with really thick beige head. Strong fruity aroma. Syrupy malt, hot alcohol. Plums are the fruits in the mouth. Good condition though.
