(750ml) Sampled at the Brasseurs du Temps pre-party on August 27, 2008. Pours a thin, almond frothy head with a deep red body. Nose of soya sauce, strong plum odours. Flavours of strong alcoholic malt, thin burn. Good fruit and salty malt. Very alcoholic. Wow. 8/4/8/4/15

Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville NC. Copper pour with picture perfect head and lace. Grassy aroma. Thin mouthful. Fruits, hops, alcohol make this beer kinda one dimensional.

Pours a reddish copper with no head. Very still pour. The nose is sweet and fruity, candy, malty, caramel. Definitely English. The flavor is a bit thin, sweet, candy, fruity, warm, lacks overall complexity. Decent mouthfeel.

clear dark red, whispy beige head, touch of lace, earthy hop aroma with a bit of carmel malts, sticky sweet malt flavor, nice balancing bitterness, good fruit character starts to emerge along with some alcohol that grows as it warms,
