12 ounce bottle- poured a nice copper orange with a thick golden head. Aroma was nuts and malt. Taste was better than average, stong malt with a nice finish.

550 ml bottle. 2007/2008 Edition. Pours a clear deep copper with a moderate linen white head that lasted through two-thirds of the glass. Pleasant aroma of malt, floral hops and just a hint of citrus. The flavor is again malt with some light spice and again just a hint of citrus. Light bitterness at the finish. A decent beer but not memorable.

Poured a nice copper color with a small white head. Aromas poured out of the bottle which leaned on the malty, slightly spiced and sweet side. Flavor is malty all the way through with a decent alcohol kick and a lot of sweetness. Overall a beer good.

Bottle. Clear golden amber colour with a huge well lasting creamy beige head leaving a good lacing. Sweet carame, toasty maltiness and hops. Good soft mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet with carazmel, toasted malt, bitter hops, bit of dark fruits and alcohol. Long lasting bitter sweet toasty finish. Quite good ESA.

Bottled. Nooooo... Well, that was my initial rating... I don’t know if it was due to a dirty glass or something else at the restaurant.

Bottle. Pours a brassy color with a medium eggshell head. Aroma is mainly malt with a hint of hops and earth. Taste is smooth filled with malt and not enough on the hops. Not bad.

Bottle. Dark copper color with moderate off-white head. Strong nutty aroma with notes of malt and spices. Strong red ale taste with extremely nutty finish. Not too bad.

A softy ale that drinks the way cream head floats. Very round and blunt and fits nicely in your mouth without a tingle or pucker. Not a winter ale at all in the sense of winter-warmer american-strong but instead incredibly easy. It’s the silent-strong personality of an ale that treats you nice in sessions. I’d imagine this beer wears a pea coat and has a silky churned butter smooth accent. Had many a many of these.
