500ml bottle served in my 22oz snifter. Clear garnet pour topped by a thin beige head. Smells of apple peel, toffee, chocolate, and a nondescript fruitiness. Tasting notes of prune, toffee, fig, nuts, and that fruitiness from the nose. Bitterness is apparent but not overpowering. Remains dry throughout. Quite complex for a mere 6.3% abv.

Pours a pale copper/ruby with a large persistent head leaving lacing down most of the glass. Rich aroma of spiced marmalade, dried figs, golden syrup, well-aged sherry, some woody notes and earthy English hops. Lovely, reminds me of plum pudding. More oxidised alcohol is noticeable upon tasting, though more like a port than sherry. Hints of oak shine through what is quite a rich combination of treacle, caramel and nutty malt. Sharp alcohol on the finish detracts somewhat from the overall experience. All this is supported by a full, rich body and low carbonation, which suits the beer well.

Cloudy dark amber with a foamy cream head. Nuts, roast, chocolate and dark malts on the nose. Nice on the palate with a nutty chocolate flavor and a roasted finish.

Mahogany reddish colour with a tall and handsome head leaving a neat lacework. Very, nutty and fruity aromas. Dry and hoppy ale with a long, bitter aftertaste. Typical notes of nuts and caramel. Pleasant

Bottle: pours. Clearish chestnut brown with a large off white head that last with great lacing. Aroma has a good caramel malt and a some toasty old bread aroma. Also some english hops that seem to be fading. Very small amount of fruity esters. Flavor is a bready dry toast flavor some decent caramel Hop bitterness plays well with the beer.

Nice color, great tasting ale. Almost had a chewy, unfiltered feel on some mouthfuls. Somewhat hoppy, but nothing overwhelming. Solid performer.
