cluny6 (61), Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England Nov 11, 2007 Cask at the Regal BF in Cambridge. This is a very interesting ale. You would expect this kind of spiciness in a witbier, not an English ale. Dark caramel color, nice spicy aroma. Taste is of coffee. Noticeable spicy, you can taste the coriander. Peppery in the mouth. Long bitter finish. Quite interesting and good.
Skinnyviking (2590), Copenhagen, Denmark Aug 16, 2008 Cask. Low fluffy yellow lasting head. Very dark read almost black body. Mild berries aroma with a bit of coffee. Dry roasted malt flavor with herbal notes and a bit of coffee. Low carbonation, long aftertaste. Ethereal (869), London, Greater London, England Aug 9, 2008 Cask at GBBF 08. Dark brown and still, this has an intense coriander aroma, which is carried through the flavour, right to the dry finish. A unique brew. KimJohansen (3026), Copenhagen V, Denmark Aug 8, 2008 Dark brown with tiny beige head. Sweet and earthy aroma with roasted malt.

Info: 1/3 pint, 8/8-2008, 178/300 wheresthepath (210), Buckinghamshire, England Jun 2, 2008 [Gravity cask at beer festival at the Retreat, Reading] Deep pinky-black. Coriander spice dominates totally and utterly. Quite sweet, with a dry, slightly smokey finish. Coriander lingers for a long time afterwards.
