3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle shared by pineypower from a bottle given to him by jcwattsruger after RBSG ’11, thanks Dean and John. Poured a clear mahoganey brown/red body under a small foamy light beige head. Aroma of nice grains, rather malty, strong dark bread notes with a hint of rye and some light chocolate blended in with a hint of orange citrus hops. Very smooth and sippable with a thin to medium body, average carbonation, and a quick fading flavor. Flavor is very similar to the aroma with a mostly bready/malty make up of dark bread, rye, chocoalte and orange. Very good beer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle thanks to JCWatts. Pours out a moderate clear amber color with a tiny bubbling white head. Aroma is of caramel, light grains and some light grassy hop. Taste is very clean and well balanced. Light caramel, light grains, and some English hops in there to finish it off. Well Done.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Amber coloured beer. Thin white head. The nose is lovely. Soft pale UK malt with a touch of light crystal malt as well. Earthy/spicy Fuggles and a bit of orange marmalade character. The yeast also throws a bit of soft estery fruitiness. A little bit resiny and chewy. There is a nice soft sweetness throughout. There is a nice soft sweetness throughout. Really lovely pint ’o bitter.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
(Draft. 2005) This as a rich, flavorful ale. Nice caramel aromas and rich maltiness on the nose with just a hint of grassiness. Deep copper colored. Nice head, lasted relatively well. Maltiness is rich and comples with hints of vanilla, prumes, caramel and molasses. Don’t know how many of these I could drink, but it was a perfect accompaniment to my mean. MMMMM tasty. Some hops definitely noticible in the background.
