Bottled - Bedford Beer Festival. Lots of banana and rye aromas in this dark brown coloured beer. The taste is too sweet for me having banana and bubblegum galore.

Dark beer, drunk one year past sell-by date. Silky smooth with lively but gentle carbonation. No hop character but bursting with malt, rye and yeast derived flavours. A perfectly crafted beer and a real pleasure.

Bottle. Pretty banana-y and caramelly. Yeasty, with quite a bid of whole meal bread flavour. Alcohol shows ever so slightly. Nice though.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very dark red/brown colour. I haven’t had enough beers made with rye to isolate the characteristics associated with it, but there’s certainly everything but the kitchen sink in here. I picked up wheat (strong), caramel, vanilla, bready yeast, banana (faint) and roast malt. However, I found it a bit of a hotch potch and, in truth, too sweet for my palate. Interesting though. Bottled at Bedford Beer Festival 2004.
