Fantastic beer!!Great lookin’ beer, long lasting head,persistent bead, nose and palate just bursts with rich malty flavours and loads of fruity hops. There is so much flavour in this bottle...how do they manage it?? A big complex brew,but well balanced despite the high ABV. Truly a fine ale..not one for a session tho...unless you’ve got the next few days off!!

This copper coloured ale has red fruit, currants and burnt toffee flavours with hints of chocolate and a sweet caramel finish. Bottle Conditioned.

ekstedt (3624) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - JAN 20, 2007
UPDATED: SEP 6, 2007 Bottle. Clear copper red with a thick head that disappears slowly. Aroma is rich fruity malty with a slightly roasted touch and some spicy and earthy hops. Quite dry with a light sweetness and a firm and long bitterness. Lovely!

Tall billowy head. Tan brown. Nutty, toasty aroma. Very malty flavor- coffee, walnut, chocolate. Lightly spicy-tea notes and earth in the finish which lingers very nicely. Impressive ESA.

Courtoisie de HogTownHarry. Couleur de terre cuite, pas beaucoup de collet. Arome réchaufant de maltes et d’épice. Goût d’épice et de fruit du vergés. Une vraie délice!

Delicious English ale. Good flavor and tastes like I’m sitting in a pub on Tottenham Court Road. Full flavored and smooth as a Brit.
