Leighton (4101) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 11, 2012
Bottle at home in London. Pours clear, red-brown with a staunch, off-white foam head. Some dark, slightly fermented grapes and other fruits in the nose, hints of chocolate and caramel. Big sweet flavor (unsurprisingly) with a strong punch of toffee, candied fruits, caramel, rich and toasty bread, raisins. Medium to full in body with average carbonation. Mild warmth to finish with lots of toasty sugar, jammy fruits, raisins, prunes, caramel and toffee, bread, touches of booze, cake, light earthy hops, faint cocoa and light orange. Very solid doppelbock. Drinks quite well for the ABV with a very nice complexity of character.

Bottle. Reddish brown beer with a reasonable head. The aroma is mildly roasted with a touch of smokiness and bitterness. The flavour has a good amount of bitterness and a heavy degree of roasted'ness and malty'ness. Overall a nice malty and roasted strongly spirit like beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
