Gairebé negre amb una espuma important. Aroma de malts, potser tofes. Sabor maltós un punt picant i de fum lleuger de roure. Tot i els seus 10% d’alcohol no molesten en boca, això si, pugen al cap. Gran cervesa. Aquesta cervesa a estat un regal que m’ha fet la germana del elaborador, des d’aquí us dong les gràcies, la he gaudit molt. This beer was a gift to me from the sister of the brewer, from here thanks a lot, I enjoyed it.

This ale pronounces a sweet malt, molasses, cloves, marshmallow and caramel aroma followed by a café long lasting foamy head that stood there until the first sip came thru. A temperamental brew with notes of malt, caramel and chocolate fudge gently tasted on the first sip backpacking the flavors of candy, fruity yeastiness and peppery wood that took over the whole scenario. Nice brew!

A dark cloudy beer, lightly carbonated. A very earthy flavor, almost an oaky taste. An awesome beer.

The first impression is a strong one as the aroma is overwhelming and pleasant. Reminds me of a playground near a beach. That said, the taste underwhelms. It gives a 'comfort zone' in the drinking but doesn't give much more. Its a full taste in the mouth and little aftertaste. Overall, I'd say this beer is all bark and no bite.

Pours a dark red caramel beer with an impressive head. Incredible retention. The aroma is fruity, with apples followed by some grapes, orange zest, hop flowers, caramel malts, and bread. Some soft spicy notes hide in the background. Sweet dark fruits, toffee, and a bit of chocolate are also in the mix. Toasted malts and warm apples upfront, cranberries, hop bitterness, citrus zest, smoke, and wood notes. Smoky finish. The mouthfeel is very smooth.

Oakes’ comments say it all....Pretty much anything this guy says I take to heart....he definitely knows great beer. All I can say to Oakes is, ’Cheers!’

mmm this beer is good. Dark brownish color. Smells of chocolate caramel and a little bit of hops. Taste is somewhat sweet w/ a little alcohol. A little bit of pepper and chocolate flavor very complex. Drinking this beer will make u want to kiss that ugly dog on the label sweeberz

Very unique beer. One of my favorites and a great one to spring on your friends. Big head, nice dark color. This beer has LOTS of flavor. I first notice how sweet it is and the transitions along the long finish are great.

Received in a trade from P1meatloaf. Pours a dark brown with reddish hues, slight whitish head. Smells of sweet malts with dark fruits with a touch of caramel and a bit of breadiness to it. Tastes of slight chocolate throughout with fig, plum and other dark fruit in the forefront. There was also a touch of a molasses flavor. Mild hop bitterness, which is appropriate for the style. To me, it seemed a bit like a cross between a BSDA and an old ale than just purely an old ale. A very good beer.

Superb beer. Best product from a wonderful brewery. The mix of smokiness and malt richness is wondeful.
