3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Beautiful amber color; still. The aroma is simple. The mouthfeel is strong, with some good sweet malt, a bit oily, but nothing special. A bit warming. Powerful but not impressive.
A bottle is awaiting in the cellar, for better days...

UPDATED: APR 18, 2009 Cask at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. A hazy golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of vegetables, malt, and lemon. The flavor is sweet matly with notes of over ripe fruit and spices, leading to a dry bitter and woody finish. Not ready yet.

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.

Cask at SBWF.
Amber with a small, beige head.. Malty and yeasty with a lot of sweet, dried fruits and resin. Still a bit thin and unmatured.

UPDATED: MAR 13, 2008 Bottle, sampled in a brandy sniffer. Pours a deep, mysterious amber with an ample head of off-white. An aroma of hay and dehydrated flowers greets the nose. Flavor is a sweet pepper with dots of grass, earth, and carrot. Nice mouthfeel. Good example of a malty British ale, but it doesn’t stand out.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Thanks Vladimir. Clear amber. Aroma of malt, caramel, honey, some fruitiness, some oxidation and a bit of fruits. Sweet malty flavor, honey-ish, a bit biscuity and fruity. Finishes slightly drier and alcoholic. Medium-bodied.
