Nov 25, 2009 Bottle. Moderate malt notes of cereal and nutty, light perfume for the hops, moderate dough for the yeast with background notes of wine, toffee, brown sugar and dried fig. Head is between frothy and fizzy, off-white with some sediment speckling. It has a little slippery lacing and is fully lasting. Color is murky amber-orange-tan, with a thick amount of large particles. Flavor starts moderately sweet and acidic, then finishes moderately sweet, acidic and bitter and just a touch sour. Palate is medium, oily with a fizzy carbonation and a heavily alcoholic finish. There is a lot of beer in this small bottle, all with great balance.

Nov 21, 2009 Bottle from the Bitter End Off Licence, Bromley. This one gushed out a hazy amber/orange colour with lots of wholesome sediment floating about. Beige head. Aromas of toffee, caramel. citrus, stewed apples. Flavours of barley sugar, caramel, apples, candied peel, slightly malty. Nice, warming mouthfeel. This is the sort of beer that epitomises the ’drink it slowly on a cold winter evening by a roaring fire contemplating the ways of the world and philosophising about how to change it’. Unfortunately we’re having a mild winter over here in the UK and the only roaring fire i’m going to get here is if I set the house alight! Excellent winter ale. Finishes sweet and malty.

Nov 13, 2009 Faint aroma of apples. Amber color with a thick yellow head, huge chunks, and lots of carbonation, nice lacing. Half of the bottle foamed out upon pulling the cap. Apple brandy flavored with an apple core finish. Belly burning alcohol is excessive. Highly overrated beer, IMVHO.

Nov 6, 2009 Its really a mather of age with this beer. I prefer it a couple of years old when the body is still lively with fine-bubbled carbonation and a refreshing bright yeasty nose. Flavour is also refreshing with light cararmell notes and yeasty fruit and ends on a very balanced note. No sign of the ABV which is pretty damn impressing.

Oct 25, 2009 Another De Dolle gusher...Brownish amber pour with a vivacious white head that dissipates slowly. Aroma is loaded with sweet dark fruit, candi sugar, grapes, alcohol, and a moderate spiciness. Flavor is very sweet and very boozy. Raisin and grape prevail with brown sugar, light citrus, and a blatant warming alcohol quality. A mild acidity subsides into the waves of sweetness, though the brew never borderlines on cloying. Palate is thick, rich, and effervescent with a subtly acidic finish.

Oct 25, 2009 Pours a clear amber with lots of suspended yeast; foam gushed out of the bottle upon cracking the cap. Aroma heavy with yeast, plum, raisin, grapes, prune, caramel, brown sugar, and sweet malt. Flavor is delicious; lots of booze, candied sugars, dark fruit, along with some bitter hop character at the finish. Palate is very thick, but not cumbersome, and the shift to the dry finish is really nice. Another excellent brew from De Dolle.

Oct 19, 2009 Sweet with recognizable De Dolle yeast. Opaque gold color. Sugar, some coriander. Lots of yeast. Very thick, and great for sipping slowly. I’m not crazy about all of De Dolle beers, but this is a great beer. Dry, light hop finish, but the hops are not really there until the aftertaste.
