3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours dark amber with a small head.
Loads of sweet malt and oats on the nose, along with soft hints of spiced orange marmalades, golden syrup, pancakes and maple syrup.
Similarly sweet flavours, more oatmeal, pancakes and golden syrup. Unfortunately there’s a fair whack of alcohol in the finish.
Very soft carbonation could be higher, body could be thicker and more syrupy.

From a 500ml bottle on 8/4/2011. Pours a dark golden orange colour with a decent head. Has a pleasant aroma of sweet caramel malt and brown sugar. The flavour is pretty much the same, with some toffee and marmalade thrown in. The malty sweetness is quite pronounced, but it has enough hops at the end to balance things out nicely. The palate is quite creamy. All up, this a very enjoyable, well put together ale.

500ml bottle, vintage 2010 320A. Clear rich amber hue, very large light beige foamy head slowly settles to a small creamy head, excellent lacing. Very nice diverse mixture of aromas - malty, caramel, butterscotch, smokey, woody, marmalade, chocolate, Christmas cake, spice, yeast, vanilla. Tastes nice - moderate to strong sweet, moderate bitter, a faint touch of sour. Smooth and velvety,softly carbonated, oily creamy sticky texture, long bitter slightly astringent finish. Very nice indeed. Had the last few mouthfuls with some Christmas cake and yummmm, great food match.

500 ml bottle
Aroma: malty with a hint of grapefruit and chocolate
Appearance: Clear gold brown with lots of head, starts out rocky and big and condenses to a thick foam with a thick lacing.
Taste: A tad sweet but mostly bitter with a tinge of sourness.
Palate: medium bodied creamy but slightly sticky texture with lively carbonation and a longish finish.
Overall: NIce beer. It is malty, hoppy and rich so the label don’t lie. Bottle fermented and I think it shows.

Bright grassy nose, rounded by alcohol. Lovely hazy brown ale with a frothy head, quite bitter with a light sour undertone. Not a lot of sweetness. Lively on the tounge, long long bitter aftertaste. High alcohol content gives the whole ale a warm sensation. Lovely brown ale, went well with ham and cheese, one I’d certainly look out for in future.

Bottle, 11C. 2009 vintage. Hazy copper, loose inch of light beige head, a decent amount of which is retained all the way down. Aroma is mainly grass with some cheese rind, wood, dried apricots, apples and white pepper. Deep fruit sweetness with fresh and dried red berries; some vinous character; some grapefruit sourness and spicy/ pine bitterness. I liked it a lot coldish and fresh. I suppose warmer and older might work too.
