Greene King Strong Suffolk (Olde Suffolk)

Brewed by Greene King
Style: Old Ale
Bury St. Edmunds, England

Dark reddish brown, no head. Bit of a tart aroma, reminds me of a certain Flemish sour ale. Flavor makes me think of a dark bread, with a hint of a Flaming Homer’s secret ingredient. Strong enough to feel it warm the throat. Interesting brew. Does go well with cheese.

Picked one up0 at the LCBO. Not bad, Next to no head. Aroma is raisins, and almost like red wine. Mouthfeel is kinda thin.....caramel with winey raisin taste. good, but not great.

Thanks to Indra for this one! Neat stuff here. Pours a very dark amber, little head fades away entirely. Aroma initially strongly of apples, as it warms, a soft warm caramel note emerges. Flavor is initially that of fresh green apple peel. As it warms up, caramel and toffee emerge, along with a bit of a woodsy note. An English beer for those who like Belgians. Nice stuff.

lcbo winter series, caremel raisin nose, lotsa frothy head when first poured then dissapearing quickly. nice amber cherry colour, sweet burnt malt and caremel finish. good warmer

Tasted in Toronto. Obtained from LCBO as part of the winter series. Tasted in dimple mug. Pours dark ruby/black, little or no head. Aroma has some pungency, sweet, candy like and malty. Flavor is dominantly sweet, candy floss, licorice with a roasty caramel finish.

Nce, a bit less rich than other warmers appearing this season, and a touch sour from the aged-beer component. I liked it. Amazing burgundy-reddish hue. The woody notes were not really pronounced for me.

LCBO advanced tasting- This pours a faintly carbonated copper liquid, with just a petit amount of beige dusting. Nice malt based aroma(toasty, roasted malts, bready) with woody, nutty, burnt sugars. Flavours are a wonderfully balanced interpretation of the aromas. Lots of vanilla/wood, with sweet nutty malts, toasty, with a smidge of the ABV shining through. Very warming, and dangerously drinkable. Finishes with a big malt bang, and a wonderful warmth.

Bottle. Purchased at The La Jolla, CA Bev Mo. The brew pours a blackish amber, though it seemed lighter when it came out of the bottle and settled to be much darker then expected. the head is light tan and has settled some but seems stable enough. The scent I could smell from a distance, up close it smells nicely malty and robust. The intial taste is hard to place its both strong and subtle and drinkable. There are strong notes of malt in this brew and a light slighty fruity aftertaste. This ale is certainly delicious and different from others I’ve had. Well worth a try, has a slightly wine like quality with further drinking.
