Oct 19, 2007 I think my taste buds are starting to like the more maltier beers again than the well hopped ones. So I enjoyed drinking this one though the better half didn’t. Sweet toffee aroma, dark amber body with a short lasting head and a nice mouthful of taste, good length of soft chewy caramel.

Oct 13, 2007 a pleasant surprise - a pretty good biere de garde in the BJCP sort of stereotypically malty style. didnt keep a head but otherwise a good deep clear auburn hinting at a melanoidiny brew. in the mouth pleasantly fat and full chewy mailliard melanoidin and munich maltiness, but with some fruity acidity to wind it up. some interesting raspberry/pawpaw esters linger. the flavours are well integrated and seamless - seems like it’s a mature bottle but i dunno how old it is. solid.

Jul 4, 2007 Spicy hop and toffee aroma. Attractive clear ruby red appearance with little or no head ( though that may have been my glass). Flavour was mainly of malty sweetness (some chocolate) but with a hint of acidic fruit (raspberry??) at the finish. Medium mouthfeel. A good beer with warming alcohol at 7.5%

Feb 24, 2007 bottled, brewtopia06. hazy brown with a lingering off-white head. disturbing aroma of popcorn and medicine. quite sticky, hints of raw sugar and no real yeast bite to cut through some of the custard flavour
