3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20UPDATED: JUN 3, 2010 Malty sweetness with a dry hop bitterness in this ale. I can’t get it where I live so I have to travel 140 kms to the nearest next large town to buy it at a large liquor chain. It is well worth the trip each and every time. Cheers

Bottle from Sainsbury’s Washington. A dark amber ale with a strong almond and nutty flavour, chocolate notes and sweet red fruit on the finish.

Belle couleur ambree pour cette Premium Bitter. Un beau col relativement persistant alors que la carbo est tres faible. Des aromes de pain legerement grille, de caramel et de fruits. Fruits que l’on retrouve bien en bouche sur une attaque bien amere et un final bien sec.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Half litre bottle, poured into pint glass.
A: Brown, small off white head, clear.
S: The malt used for this really reminded me of the malt used in some beers from Bamberg, had a real malty sharpness. There were also notes of slightly sour fruits.
T: Burnt caramel which was balanced out by some bitterness, had hints of wheat and dark chocolate. Possibly some Fuggles hop.
M: Medium body, smooth, moderate carbonation.
O: Fairly wintery, not a bad ESB but not the best.

Grain and honey aroma. Taste of malt, ruccola, citrus, dates and honey. Balanced bitterness.
2.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cerveza con un pequeño toque de amargor pero qué sabe cómo aguada. No termina de triunfar en mi paladar, salvo por ese toque del final qué la salva del muy deficiente. Te puedes beber un litro sin respirar. No repetiría.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Aeon Mall (Ibaraki) liquor shop. Big toffee and some light coffee notes in the nose. Copper-amber color. Strong minerally initial, good maltiness / some spice comes out in mid, along with decent bittering / finish has thin bitterness and a little chocolate. Not bad . I suspect the clear bottle didn’t help it any. Aroma seems to be that of a stronger beer.

Bottle from Tesco; I’m having a cheap Sunday afternoon beer ticking odyssey £10 for 6 bottles, I’m not afraid to drain pour if I don’t like. Medium copper pour with off white head, roast malt and caramel aroma,
fruit and malt taste with a bitter finish, also got some burnt caramel taste. Finished this bottle, going to drink some craft now.

Oh yeah baby, I’m back. Feels good. I’m enjoying this as much I enjoy Bishop’s finger. Better than I expected. Oh er missus, what a card! It’s all a bit 1970s. 90 minutes you say? Sure I could manage that. Fruity.
