[Batch #1, drunk with Fred Eckhardt at GBBF 2004] A brown slightly hazy beer with a fine orange head. The aroma is of pudding and wood, clearly a well matured beer. The flavor is of alcohol, caramel, wood, and pudding with a dry woody end. A great beer - especially when aged.

Batch 63, sampled February 2006. An unclear amber beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is very complex, and very hoppy, but also with a light touch of alcohol. The flavor is very hoppy especially notes of grapefruit comes thru, leading to a dry bitter end. The body is very thick. I like the aged version best. [8/3/8/4/17]

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, dark amber golden with a small, off-white head. Distinct and fat hop aroma. Very solid body with lots of caramel malt, fruitiness and a shipload of aroma hops. Somewhat medicinal accents. Hoppy, bitter finish. Courtesy of Storm. 120207 and 260708

Bottle, 10%. Creamy and malty aroma, hint of vanilla. Muddy caramel colour. Small creamy white head. The flavour is quite bitter, but also sweet. Some alcohol to balance along with teaish hops and vanilla. Slick mouthfeel, almost slimy.

Bottled (Batch 63, thanks kenb!). Hazy nut brown colour with big foamy off-white head, leaves much lace. Aroma is lots of hops, caramel, some alcohol, yeast and fruits. Flavour is fruits, hops, slight alcohol and spices. A very nice beer, as nothing hits you as if it attacks you, but comes very smoothly creeping. Complex and smooth, both in aroma and flavour. Totally kickass!

Bottled. Hazy orange coloured with a lacing beige head. Sweet aroma of malts, alcohol and hops. Nice sweet flavour with lots of malts, hops and dried fruit. Nice long bitter finish.
