RBESG Sheffield 2009, day 3, Piccadilly Station, Manchester. Bottle. Why this crap has such a high score it;s out of my head ! Dark brown, sugar caramel nose. Flavour is very sweet malty, coke, maple syrup. Very artificial.

From bottle @ Manchester Piccadilly, waiting for the train... deep brown ,... big malt fruit ansd sweet sugar nose ... low carbonation ... big sweet toffee and cola... sugery

From bottle @ Manchester Piccadilly, waiting for the train. Deep dark brown color. Apple syrup in the aroma. Grainy sweet flavor with cola, caramel and apple syrup. Tastes cheap.

Dark brown brew that produced a small ammount of tan head that faded quickly. Nice aroma albiet to mild. Lightly toasted dark malts, possible smoke (can’t convince myself it’s there), maybe I’m finding the hidden smell of grape gum. This would taste much better if not hampered by excessive bitterness for the style. Still, highly drinkable. Fairly sweet and a shit load of toasted malts (mild overall). i may be confusing what I think is notable alcohol during every sip with the hops...go figure. Weak nuttiness? Just over medium bodied. The carbonation that at first sip gave me the ’pop’ impression has rounded out nicely now and is quite good and soft. Good malt middle and finish that takes a bit of a hit with the obvious excessive bitterness. I could drink this all night despite the impression that I didn’t like it. If you really want to enjoy this let it warm considerably...more than usual. Thanks for the beer, bro.

Bottle. Pours dark clear brown with decent beige head. Sweet, slightly toasty malt head. Similar taste, with some lactic notes. Not bad, but not really my thing.
