Bottle thanks to kaggie at august tasting. Batch 79. Pours a dark brown with a ruby hue and small tan head. The aroma is raisin malt and caramel. Thin mouthfeel with a roasted malt with caramel and vanilla. A very good Traditonal ale from Hair of the Dog.

Bottle, batch #82. Murky dark chestnut brown with a low tan head that fades out pretty quick. Aroma is surprisingly hoppy, and a little phenolic. Flavours of chocolate syrup, dusty leather, treacle, raisins. Big hop character at the back of the palate, really bitter in the end. Not boozy, but certainly warming. Very tasty, very interesting. I’m glad I have another bottle to cellar for a few years. I’m interested in seeing where this will go.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a small, light brown head. Very malty sweet aroma, toffee. Malty to the taste, alcohol, raisins. Nice beer.

Ruby brown with a thin brown quickly dissipating topper. Aroma of smoke, leather, dark fruit, vanilla, alcohol and a touch of soy. Smooth bodied quaff tastes of dark fruit, plums, light chocolate, soy sauce and alcohol.

Bottle at Sigmunds, thanks. Batch 71. Pours nearly black with a moderate sized creamy light tanned head. Aroma is dark malty, vinous and brown sugar. Taste is rich malty, caressing my taste buds with dark sweet caramel and red ripe fruits. Thick syrupy mouthfeel. Complex with traces of smoke, tar and liquorice. Easy burn from the alcohol. Good?- Yes absolutely. Lingering finish.

355 ml bottle, from Ølkonsortiet, Aalborg. Batch # 71. ABV is 10%. Very dark reddish brown colour, moderate beige head. Vinous aroma, notes of dark dried fruits and oak, also some initial notes of dust. Sweet and vinous flavour, notes of old port, dark dried fruits and oak, hints of chocolate and smoke, decent hops in the finish. Very good.

As perfect as beer can get. Simply exquisite. It has deep lush flavors of hops, malts, barley, chocolate. Great balance

Bottle @ bros house from Bottleworks. Dark brown appearance with a light brown head. Strong, sweet, soapy caramel, slightly boozy nose. Strong caramel, toffee, dak chocolate, toasty dak malty, slightly boozy flavor with hints of soap, coffee, and pine. Not as smooth as Cherry Adam.
