12 oz. bottle; thanks Ibrew3or3!! Dense brown with trace tan head; boozy with dried fruit and caramel; lots of brown sugar too; apples and cookies; thin texture with grapefruit, brown sugar and sticky oranges; quite light overall with toffee and orange peels; sticky dry finish

Deep brown, clear body. Lightly brown head. Aroma of american hops and malts. Heavily bitter, moderately sweet flavour - strong on the hops. Nice.

ruby brown, faintly hazy, no bubbles wet raisings and nuts on the nose med body and kind of fizzy w/ some syrupy element big alcohol taste dominates. kind of spicy. not much else. still, nice.

Pours clear dark red-amber with a huge tanned head leaving beautiful lacing. Aroma of caramel, roasted malts, fidges, dades and madeira wine. Very nice. Dry mouthfeel. Flavor of alcohol, malts, tart hops and cucumber. Thin body. Acidy sourish palate. Finishes sour and longlived tart hoppy.

From the Bottle at Chris O’s pre GBBF tasting, Kensal Rise 31/07/2010 Fruity aroma. Mid brown coloured a little hazy in appearance and strong in alcohol with a hint of dryness in a bitter malt finish.

330ml bottle @ Chriso’s pre-GBBF ’Raise the Roof’ Tasting ’10. Poured with a disappearing, bubbly off-white head atop a dark orangey-brown body. Warm and oaky, vinuous berry and dried fruits with earthy malt tones on the aroma. Yeasty, earthy and woody with prune notes and a bittersweet dark, red berry finish. Some decent fruity hop in here too. Soft, medium to full body, a touch warm and oily with a dry fruity bitterness.

Bottle at Chris O’s ‘Raise the roof’ tasting. Cloudy light-brown pour. Meaty, earthy aromas with a hint of herbs and some light spices. Toffee, caramel and citrus flavours. Totally belies the nose. Very smooth. Malt laden finish with a slight bitterness. Different.

Bottle at chriso’s pre- GBBF ’Raise the Roof’ Shindig ’10. Brown. Odd and utterly indescribable aroma. Taste is the malt extract I was given as a child, allegedly to strengthen me, but in actuality making me a beer addict in later life. Some bitterness. Grows on you.
