Bottle transparent (white), 500 ml
Appearance: Pours orangy - amber body colour with many sediments of yeasty origin floating in the body texture, carbonation of body is medium, head is initially medium, slowly decreasing to small, off - white, cappuccino like in colour, lacing is visible on tha wall of the glass. Sediments are falling down to the glass - bottom.
Aroma: Fruity sweet malty aroma dominating over the earthy hoppyness, slightly herbal hoppy nose, very gentle notes of red fruits but slightly too weak to specify what kind of fruits it contains.
Flavour: Tangy sweet maltyness at front, alcohol is moderate and is quite well felt, red fruits become present in the retronasal aroma, caramel, touch of white bread, milk chockolate, gentle notes of mead, noble hops earth hidden under sweetness, carbonation is felt quite strongly on palate. Finish feel is average to long.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is wattery and slightly seems smooth, carbonation on palate is medium, finish feel is moderate alcoholic and neutral in other aspects for slight spicyness.

Jul 10, 2008 Bottled. A rich brown headless beer. You can see the yeast in the bottle, but it has cardboardy pasteurized flavours. Toffee, fruit caramel and a bit of wood. Boiled sweets and really chewy malt. You’d think after 310 years they could do better than this wouldn’t you?
