Morland Hens Tooth

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

Bottle. Pours dark copper with a small white head. Nice mellow hop and carmalized malts. Medium bodied. Sweet malt start with a slightly metalic finish.

Pours a cloudy, amber/copper color with a quickly dissipating white head-foamy. Aroma is sour with some malts. Taste at first is sour on the backend with malts, caramel and mild hops. As the beer warms, the sour taste dissappears.

Nice amber pour with a long lasting foamy head. Started out promising enough with a nice, though somewhat light caramel malt and nutty aroma. First drink is slightly sweet and malty, but then a odd bitter rubbery taste takes over, which won’t go away. I’m going to assume this is due to the curse of the clear glass bottle, but this one became a drain pour. I couldn’t finish it.

Bottle.
Pours a beautiful amber with a nice frothy head. Aroma is coppery hops with a malt casing. Flavor is boring British malt with a hint of sleepy hops. Nothing spectacular; nothing I haven’t had from cheaper beers. Average mouthfeel. Probably pretty good from a legitimate cask; not so much from a regular bottle.

Bottled 50cl. It pours a amber coloured beer with a bubbly light beige head. The nose is of malt, caramel, grapefruit, hops, plums and wood. Earthy. Some crackers sneaking in. Malty taste. Medium bodied. Notes of grapefruit showing up accompanied by crackers and caramel. Milky. Earthy hops. Dry bitter finish with a hint of grapefruit.

Cloude deep amber, nice head, light notes of fruit, grains, malt, yeast, hops and melon. Mainly sweet and bitter in aftertaste.

500ml bottle. Leafy, herbal, earthy hop aroma, some light fruit and toasted malt notes as well. Translucent medium amber color with a lasting, fine, ivory head. Flavor is initially malty and sweet, dark and toasted, becoming hoppier with a mellow bitterness and lightly floral, citrus tones, turning sweeter again late into the finish, which also features hints of tobacco, nuts and tea leaves. Smooth, quenching mouthfeel, body is medium. This is very easy drinking stuff. Seems to be fresh and well taken care of before I got it, luckily.

This beer pours a clear, dirty amber colour with a fairly large white head. Aroma is sweet and a little skunky. Soft hops, oak and apples. Taste is very full with strong flavors of tobacco, hops, wasabi and oak.
