(bottle) Clear, dark amber colour with a rather short off-white foamy head. Sweet malty, caramelly nose with dried fruits and a light herbal hoppy blend. Sweet flavour, medium to full bodied, medium carbonation. Robust toast-malty taste with strong notes of caramel and a well-balanced, light-herbal hoppy background; sweet and quite fat but not sticky toast-malty finish with dried fruits and a present herbal hops character in the very end (spring 07).

Jun 8, 2007 Bottle@Quinns, London. Slightly smokey aroma, some lightly fishy aromas. Palate is lightly sweet and sticky, with some caramel and a fishy saltyness in the finish, and some light smokey notes. Warming finish. Quite nice i think.

Jun 6, 2007 A Sim rate (bottle at Quinns): Fresh perfumy aroma of caramel, chocolate and plum. The aroma is so nice that I would even give it an 8 if it wasn’t for the slight metallic tinge. Colour is a gorgeous dark red/brown. Sometimes red/sometimes brown. Taste is sweet and chocolately, but with a slight (again) metallic finish. Overall, it’s a very nice beer!
