Jun 8, 2008 Interesting aroma of honey, light toffee, slight vanilla and almost a slight resemblance to sweet Sake! Pour is a bit average with a bit of a thin mixed head on it, quite sudsy. But the flavour is very enjoyable, the vanilla is a bit more prominent along with the honey some herbal notes and butteriness. This would go well with Vanilla Ice cream or a sticky date pudding.

Jun 7, 2008 Deep amber body with a lightly off white head. The aroma has strong notes of vanilla and butterscotch. There is also some fresh cut wood, but that rich buttery character overwhelms it. The taste has some rich toffee and wood notes. There is also some light vanilla, but it is subtle. Overall, it is an interesting beer and it seems to benefit from the oak aging. However, I can only see it being a pleasure to those that love a light and buttery tasting brew.

Jun 6, 2008 Poured golden amber, quite dark, with a strong white head. Malty caramel aroma with vanilla ice cream notes. Prominent. The flavour was complex - malty and hoppy, also quite sour and spicy. Alcohol evident in the finish. Very good. Very drinkable palate. Yes, a very good strong ale overall.

Jun 3, 2008 The aroma is malty and buttery with quite a definite oak-rum quality. The appearance is light amber with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. A nice beer.

Jun 2, 2008 bottle from morrisons- first impressions pours pretty enough, smells pure skunk. bright orange with a creamsicle foamy head and lacing. nose is skunk. heaps of caramel toffee and some wood. cereal. tastes really creamy mouthfeel. lightly sweetened with heather, honey. probably the most respectable beer ive had from a clear bottle. toasty buttery banana flavours with a dry finish, a bit too sweet too much grain.
