Commercial Description:

"Reminiscent of the strong beers and 'October Ales' brewed during the seventeenth century in the country estates of the gentry and nobility; strong malt sugars are boiled, heavily hopped, fermented and matured to produce a bitter-sweet beer with a high spirit content. (Brewed for the quatercentenary of 'The Discovery of the 1605 Gunpowder Plot')."

A deep amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is very sweet with strong notes of over ripe fruits, as well as berries like strawberries and cherries. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of fruit and berries, as well as lighter notes of alcohol. The end is dry and OK bitter with a touch of wood. The mouthfeel is smooth.

(Bottle 27,5 cl) Pours a warm, clear, reddish amber golden with a small, off-white head. Complex, vinous, sherry-like aroma. Full-bodied, notes of overripe fruit, sherry and wood - salty even, but the sweetness lingers. The finish is dry. 310807

Bottle. Clear dark chestnut colour. Very malty aroma, a bit dusty. Sweet raisin flavour, very malty, sweet and dusty. The bitterness is a bit rough. Low carbonation. Very nice, but one bottle is more than enough.
