2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Best after April 2011? So is this out of date or (as the bottle states it is cellarable) is this in it’s prime? Anyway fairly A-typical Amber. Not a lot going on beyond the toffee and caramel and a fairly light bitter finish. A bit tinny at this stage too. Pretty average. I gave this a go based on the above average ratings, but this just had little to offer.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a dark amber colour with an off-white head. Aroma is quite faint with notes of dark fruits and spices. Taste is also faint but has some dark fruits, malt, with hints of chocolate leading to a subtle bitter finish. Pretty nice but I would like to see more force behind the aroma and taste.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle - Pours dark amber with a thin white head. Choc and caramel in the aroma with a hint of spice. Flavours take a while to develop but are light and sprizty up front but then develop into a dry choc malt flavour with a burnt caramel lingering finish.
3.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours brown with a small head.
Nose shows nutty and toasty malt, soft chocolate and caramel. Pretty nice start.
Flavours are a bit of a let down after that though, with just a little caramel and nutty malt. Pretty plain.
Watery body. Could use more carbonation.

3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. It’s a clear, amber beer with a small, dense, beige head. It’s coffee-ish, toffee-ish and slightly cellar-ish. The flavor is quite decent, coffee, toffee, some chocolate and a touch of bitterness are present, with some cellar. Semi-dry on the palate, with a smooth carbonation. A decent beer indeed. 110819

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Slightly hazy amber with slight head. Pleasant subtle aroma - chocolate, vanilla, hint of orange. Medium body, bright carbonation. Interesting flavour with lots going. Rich chocolate and tangy fruit with pleasant spicy hop notes all of which fall off abruptly to a long finish of slight hoppy bitterness and dark chocolate and coffee hints.
