Jun 25, 2008 Trois cent et trente milliletre bottle (just under 3/5th of a Pint) from Sainsburys. Excellent aroma - as a single malt whisky fan it promises the best of both worlds. The appearance is interesting, a bit like a dark lager. The flavour is very interesting with a positive malty and toffee flavour and definite high alcohol content taste. Various subtle flavours as it progresses on its way. Overall, I am very impressed. I get the impression that this resembles the ales brewed by the ’Maltster’ in Hardy’s "Far from the Madding Crowd". Highly recommended... enjoy.

Jun 24, 2008 Vanilla aromas, spicy caramel notes, fruity yeasty aromas, definite english yeast aromas. Pours amber blonde with a thick white head that disipates quickly. Vanilla, very creamy flavors, oaky, with some fruity yeast notes, with caramel malts, with a hint of spicy hops. Very creamy though.

Jun 17, 2008 Pours a three finger cream head that fades slowly and leaves some lace. Crystal clear amber color. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Malty/vanilla nose. Flavor is sweet vanilla and oak. Pricey but worth trying at $4.49 for a 330ml bottle from Yankee Spirits South Attleboro, Ma.

Jun 12, 2008 Innis and Gunn? Almost an anagram for Guinness, very interesting. Golden, clear body. Frothy pale head. When poured, it is actually a smell whisky! After a couple of minutes, there is almost no aroma at all. Ohh, it is a very special taste, but I would like it a bit more citrus-fresh. I recognize the taste of hoho-bottles-of-rum! That might be the woody feeling. Quite ok when I get used to it. It says ’serve chilled’- I say 10C. (Tromsø, 120608)

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.
