Morland Hens Tooth

Brewed by Greene King
Style: English Strong Ale
Bury St. Edmunds, England

A brown-tinted head, lovely amount of yeast in the bottomof the bottle which I ensured reached the glass! A definite alcohol aroma with a hint of apples, A real kick to the first sip, and the second, tapering out after the third, a golden colour and a positive alcohol taste, not bad, I doubt I could have any more than five in one sitting ***EDIT*** I had to drain pour it as my stomach could not take it, I have no idea why, my rating still stands and I will rate again at a later date to ensure

Attractive rubyish pour with thinning off-white head. Caramel maltiness with a distinct waft of leafy hop in the snout. More than a hint of Sarah Hughes Ruby Mild about this. Almost strawberryish English hop fruitiness with some mildly roasty bitterness in the finish. Not a hint of metal or booze. Better than expected.

A bit unusual - has some brett- and gueuze-like funky affectations and is sometimes explosively carbonated. Rather good though. Seems acidic.

(Bottle BB 21/12/07) Toffee and flowery aroma with a hint of yeast. Dark red brown (copper) colour, hazy and large, light brown, slightly lasting head with fair lacing. Slightly bitter, toffee and caramel flavour. Lively carbonated and medium-bodied palate with a hint of alcohol. 26/03/07

Quite well balanced for a 6.5 %ale, ruby coloured, and pleasent but struggle on more than 1

from notes token some weeks ago dark copper-red white foamy head,but not very long lasting smells of hops malt caramel tasts of hops ,malt caramel some bitterness,some fruitynessa bit of dried plums) aftertaste has hop-bitterness,a bit of caramel too,hidden fruityness

Very good looking dark ruby color with large disappearing head. Aroma had strong fruit, malt, and alcohol notes. Flavor was pretty bad. Alcohol was very evident, as well as a sharp bitter taste some here are calling metallic. I drank about half, but couldn’t force the rest of it.

Bottle. Little in the way of aroma. Large frothy/fizzy off-white head with good lacing. Bottle conditioned, sparkling amber color. Moderately sweet with lots of almost fruity flavors. I liked the complexity of flavors, that I unfortunately couldn’t quite place.
