Commercial Description:
A classic Vintage Ale with an aroma which incorporates spicy hop notes with rich fruit character and leads on to a very full malty, fruity, sweet palate which has a surprisingly clean finish coupled with a matching bitterness.
I have handcrafted this beer from the finest Fuggles, Target and Super Styrian hops, Maris Otter malted barley and of course, our unique yeast to create a truly extraordinary unique brew. - John Keeling, Brewmaster

bottle 122683. amber pour with a thin cream colored head. nose of caramel, malts, sugar and dried fruits. nice thickness with a big sweet malt flavor that finishes with caramel and honey. not bad at all, I bet some more age will do this beer just right.

Bottle, 500ml. Pours marmalade-golden, with intially deep head that quickly dissipates into non-existence. Dark malt and treacle on the nose, and slightly syrupy on the palate, with honey overtones. A very decent ale.

(bottle - 500 ml) Ruby red pour with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is very sweet with lots of fruits and caramel malts. Flavor is equally as sweet. Lots of dark fruits and caramel malts dominate the flavor and mixes with a light smoky and port-like flavor. Finishes sweet and creamy. I bet it could’ve easily taken another year of aging.

spicy, fruity aroma with a huge initial head which slowly dissapates into the English pint glass quite loudly. As it settles into a cooper pour and off white head, I notice the malt aroma and raisans. Nicely balanced, sweet up front bitter swallow and a mellow bitter after taste. Pretty good effort from across the pond, but lacking that certain backbone...

Expected a bit more. Mellow brandy taste. Not as intense in flavor as I would have liked. Ok all around.
