Nov 18, 2007 Bottle sampled at the Pre-RBSG ’Tosa gathering on 6/21/07 courtesy of hezron: Pours a transparent dark caramel with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Sweet lightly doughy caramel malty nose has a touch of wintergreen mint. Body starts with a fairly full sweet caramel maltiness well-balanced with a touch of bittering hops and toasty malt along with some light fruity esters toward a drier, but smooth finish. A nice English strong ale/barleywine.

Sep 8, 2007 (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

Sep 5, 2007 Bottle. [Courtesy of Papsoe, another great session @ Papsoe] Small beige and fizzy head that mostly diminished. Fair display of lacework. Color was a lovely amber color. Aroma was caramelized, fruity, lovely dominance of rye bread, raisins just like a good cherry, Very nice sweet and complex. Some distant wood and maybe a hint of oxidation. Very full bodied with a flat carbonation and a thick texture. Moderated sweet flavor with some underlying tones of bitterness. Nice complex and sweet lingering finish. 31-08-2007

Aug 31, 2007 Hazy reddish amber color; creamy head. Sweet caramel aroma, not persistent. Thick body, sweet, malty, with a woody and raisin touch that was already announced by the aroma. Not very bitter, but at the very end the palate is more balanced. Somehow a juice. <br /><i>Thanks Henrik (Papsø) for finding this beer that was missing in my collection</i>.
