3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Much better than a Sleeman’s Cream...as if that’s saying anything. Anyway, this was better than expected. Dark ruby body with nice frothy white head and some lacing. Aroma of sweet malts, dried fruit. Taste again is fairly sweet and malty. Not very complex, but a solid session ale for sure.

Dark copper with a medium sized white head. Aroma of sweet and lightly roasted malt. Creamy body. Flavour is nice and simple, with mild malt and quick hops

2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
From the bottle. Caramel, a powder I attributed to chocolate malt (?) at the time, mildly sweet, quite smooth. I’ve noticed this style is quite a rarity for some European raters... you’re not missing much.

Le couleur et de cuivre, presque orange. Une petite mousse. Une bonne arôme pour le style, du malt torréfier. Il y a un goût de malt et caramel. Pas mal légèr, mais très bonne pour le style.
