khayman70 (154), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Dec 18, 2002 Another beer from Heather Ale Ltd. that I love. I love the almost woody character of this beer. The finish is hard to even begin to describe. LordCrabapple (70), Merseyside, England Jan 6, 2008 What a wonderful beer. A ’sipper’ (as the Americans say. What a terrible word!); very strong, a delight to taste, but hard to find in England without the American gift pack. I would certainly recommend this to all good fellows. mckstud2 (3), USA does not count May 28, 2006 I would be satisfied with just smelling this beer - drinking it is an added bonus! Fruity on the nose, despite a fast-disappearing head. Very earthy tones that went down smooth. A must try in my book. flowerysong (25), USA Jul 24, 2007 Appearance: Pours a clear reddish amber with two fingers of off-white head that quickly dissipates.
Smell: Spicy malt with a hint of pine and a lot of fruit notes.
Taste: Sweet and fruity up front, leading into a wonderful mix of malt, apples, caramel, and pine on an earthy background. Long soft finish.
Mouthfeel: Smooth and full with light carbonation.
Drinkability: An excellent strong ale with lots of depth.
dwyerpg (2143), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Jan 18, 2007 Wonderful piny molasses aroma. Taste is similar, piny and molasses. Very good stuff; a slightly thin finihs, but certainly great.
