Jun 19, 2008 Bottle. Deep amber color, thick off-white head. Very sweet and complex aroma, with caramel and some plum. Taste is full of juicy malts, sweet spices and some notes of alcohol. Very nice indeed and it went great with English Stilton. I have a couple of bottles stored away, so I’ll be rerating this one in a couple of years.

Jun 18, 2008 Bottle--I wished I would have time to cellar this, but I bought it at a pub. The beer was a solid amber color with a foamy, off white head. The aroma was full of malt and some spice. The taste started with malts, followed by spices and finishing with an alcoholic bite. Overall, pretty complex. Brick Store Pub.

Jun 16, 2008 Bottle.Caramel colour, high carb with a very thick, irregular off-white head. Very clear for being bottle conditioned. Smells like sweet baked bread and carmalized sugar. Flavour starts with raison anf figs with caramel and light alchohol, with notes of cinnamon and clove. Finishes woody with a mild bitterness that becomes more apparant with warming. Full, thick mouthfeel.

Jun 14, 2008 Bottle # 132656. Excellent pour with a foamy beige head and amber/orange transparent color. Decent lacing as head collapsed over 5 minutes or so. Slightly chemical aroma, but mostly just a pungent hop presence with hints at fruit/sweet. Flavor explodes in the mouth with sweetness, finishing with a light bitterness with some grainy flavors. Nice lingering finish. Fun beer to drink, but not what I’d reach for first on my shelf.

Jun 7, 2008 When pouring this ale, it turns out that it is light amber, and 75% off-white foamy head. The head lasts a while. Pleasant aroma of malt, hops, dough, spice, alcohol, and cream. Flavor starts off sweet, malty, and quickly turns spicy and hoppy with a hint of alhocol and dough. This is a very complex brew, and a damn fine one, ifyou really must ask. The finish is alcoholic. Surely this would improve with age. I encourage you to let this one sit in the cellar a while, if you are so encouragable.
