Yeasty chestnut and pineapple aroma. Clearcopper pour with no head. Dates and little else. Lasting woody hop finish. Alcohol content is obvious, mouthfeel is thick and stinging. Not very enjoyable.

Aug 17, 2008 Cask, GBBF 08. Dark copper with a small head. Aromas are toffee malts with peppery pine hops, pear and grapefruit. Evident alcohol. Flavours are syrupy sweet toffee malts with autumn fruit. Hoppy with lots of spices. Peppery pine on the finish. Good stuff.

Aug 16, 2008 (Cask at GBBF, London, 5 Aug 2008) Dark reddish brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with caramel, dried fruit and hops. Malty, fruity taste with notes of dried fruit, hops, yeast and alcohol. Very vinous, warming and powerful, but strangely enough with a nice balance. Very nice beer.
rauchbier (2870), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England
Aug 14, 2008 Cask, GBBF 08. Bronze, thin but lasting off white head and gentle condition. Good balance of hop resin and caramel sweetness in the aroma, sweet and sticky maltiness in the mouth with a touch of spiciness and solid hop resin notes, lingering bittersweet alcoholic finish with some biscuit.
