Bombastic beige head on top of a dark copper colored pour - full of yeasty floaties. Aroma starts off toffee like but finishes slightly soapy. Good solid bitter flavor with hints of fruit, cigarette smoke and toffee - all blended together nicely. Mouthfeel is a tad on the thin side - but does not ruin this. Pleasantly surprised. Alcohol hidden well.

Amber coloured. Fruity and yeasty aroma. Sweet flavour. It tastes quite Belgian.

Hazy copper color, decent head that faded slowly. Aroma was a bit sulfury, with a malt note. Flavors were initially apple oriented like many English cask beers. As it warmed, the apple gave way to a subdued toffee flavor. Not bad at all.

Amber Coloring. Yeast. Hops. Wasn’t a terrible brew. Pretty Smooth for a Strong Ale.

500ml clear bottle. Poured (with difficulty) a clear horse chestnut with huge light gold head. Yeasty hop aroma. Interesting demerara malty flavour. Full mouthfeel with alcohol finish. This is a nice brew but a bit raw like homebrew. I’m now going to buy six for storage and try them at various ages starting at one year.

Bottle Conditioned, 6 Year old Morlands version. Deep amber red with loose bubbly head. My last remaining Hens Tooth from Morlands as was and kept in perfect condition (despite the clear bottle!) Deep rich velvety smooth plummy, peachy beer with a sherry like quality, little bitterness or hop overlay, this had been absorbed by the silky alcohol notes. Very Very good at this age, from this brewery, its gone now though.

Citrussy hop and fruity malt aroma. Golden amber, plenty of carbonation, off-white foamy head. Yeasty gunpowder, bitter grassy and slight sherry flavors. Peppery aftertaste, mild mouthfeel.
