Ethereal (1500), London, Greater London, England Mar 11, 2008 Cask at the Bricklayers Arms, 9th March 2008. Very clear amber with a white head. Strong vanilla and citrus aroma. Flavour is similar with a creamy mouthfeel. Nice enough. eobie (1), USA does not count Mar 10, 2008 I would have to say that this is one fo the best beers I have had. I recommend this to everyone I know. italianjohn (337), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 9, 2008 This was a great beer cost me five dollars for one bottle but i feel it was worth it ... it had so many flavors and was very smooth considering the 6.6% The vanilla stands out to me with toffee and the slight oak finish which is different .... its a very drinkable beer it hides the alcohol well
i see it was brewed by belhaven another good beer if you haven’t tried it pivnizub (4949), Bochum, Porúří, Germany Mar 8, 2008 Bottle:Deep golden, small, but stable lacy white head; wood, vanilla and turpentine in the nose; moderate sweetish flavour, medium bodied; vanilla aromas in the sweet-bitter finish. Who needs this.....? MoritzF (4856), Bochum, Germany Mar 5, 2008 (33cl bottle) Clear, golden colour with a medium-sized, slightly off-white foamy head. Sweet and slightly oaky, barrique-like nose with peaty accents, notes of alcohol, vanilla and a restrained hops character. Sweet flavour, medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Soft malty base with distinctive notes of vanilla, toffee and slightly peaty, whiskey-like flavours; medium-dry, sweet and faint bitter finish with shy hoppy notes and too much of vanilla and alcoholic accents. It´s like in the wine, I just must not have barrique flavours (05.03.08). masto (77), Helsinki, Finland Feb 23, 2008 Bottle. Oaky hoppy peanut butter aroma, but not that pleasant. Clear copper color with white head that leaves a bit of lace. Taste is very bitter oak that drowns all else. Like eating lumber. Tastes like this thing is more than 20%, no way just 6.6%. Vile, vile stuff. No way I can drink all this. 240208 Kalli (474), Falun, Sweden Feb 6, 2008 Aroma of caramel, vanilla and alcohol. Vanilla in the taste and sweetish malts remind more of whisky than beer. One dimensional but nice and drinkable. jblendy (518), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Feb 2, 2008 Pours light amber with a small creamy white head. Lots of buttery vanilla in the aroma, with a slight earthy note, and just a bit of sweetness. Semi-sweet flavors with a nice bit of vanilla/oak, some caramel, a bit of a citric undertone, and a very slight note of whiskey. Palate is medium/light, strong vanilla aftertaste, and just a bit of whiskey like burn. Interesting and well balanced, but not great, and certainly way overpriced.
