3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado (thanks!). Poured a dark amber, brown/orange body with a medium sized slightly off white head. Brown sugar and banana in the nose. The taste starts of sweet, malty, orange and caramel, sticky, maybe banana again, and comes into a sudden halt when the light but crude and kinda unpleasant dry (hoppy) bitterness shows up in the aftertaste, ruining a lot. Ok, but nothing special overall I guess.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled 33cl. It pours an amber beer with a light beige head. The aroma is of cardamom, vanilla, nutmeg, apples, wood, oranges and banana. Sweet taste with notes of apples, wood and cloves. Some coconut and popcorn showing up. Spicy. Sweet yeasty finish with a good bitterness accompanied by a spicy touch.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sweet molasses nose, chunky with sediment, shimmering amber copper color. Big honey malt tastes. Fruity hints of cherry. Oily feel. The suspended particles were a turn-off.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dark amber, small head. Aroma and flavour is malty with notes of apple, caramel and a weak bitter finish. Quite harmless, easy to drink, but boring...
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Amber of color. Nice maltaroma with toffee and malt sweetness. Malty flavor.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, picked up from the Dodgy Deli (Classic Deli) Cowley Rd, Oxford 09-02-07 for 50p a bottle. Amber in colour, this may actually have tasted quite nice and could have tasted a little better were it not for the fact that there were quite a few floaters milling around. Nice fruitiness backed up with some caramel and yeasty notes although that wasn’t surprising as there was quite a bit of this stuff kicking around, I must try this again as appeared quite an interesting beer slightly ruined by too many floatees.
