1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20 JefVerstraete (13) - BELGIUM - DEC 8, 2011
Nice colour, but that’s the only good thing about this beer. It’s sweetness is overwhelming. This is one of the most disgusting beers i ever had.

Flaske 0,25l på Le Roy d’Espagne i Brussel 6 Mai 11. Dyp brun. Lavt filmskum. Sterk maltaroma med innslag av røstethet. Smaken er tung røstet malt. Uforanderlig. Kjedelig. Trenger en et slikt øl i Belgia?

Bottled@Chriso’s "Donkey Dork Lord" pre-gbbf shindig. Ambery brown colour with a mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is quite malty, mildly leathery, some toasted notes along with burnt sugar and some slight chocolaty notes. Flavour is very similar with also some slight notes of alcohol noteable. Rather pleasantly balanced.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Scopey (1192) - Croydon, Surrey, ENGLAND - JUL 31, 2011
Bottle at chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig ’11. It pours moderate brown with a thin bubbly off-white head and moderate carbonation. The nose is caramel, toffee and brown sugar. The taste is caramel, toffee, currants, brown sugar, molasses, roasted malt and alcohol warmth, with a dry-roasted malt finish. A fairly uninspiring sweet brew.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Leighton (3595) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 31, 2011
Bottle at ChrisO’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2011. Pours clear, light brown with an off-white head. Rich malt nose, light toast. Very sweet flavor, caramel malts, brown sugar, light booze. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly warming finish, plenty of toasty malts, brown sugar and caramel. Is it a crime to enjoy scotch ales?
