3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle... Saint Patrick’s Day 2007... Murky amber ale with a large, rocky, off-white head. Everlasting, creamy retention. Earthy, sweet nose provides notes of rawhide, brown sugar and wine with a whisper of acidity. The flavor has excellent balance. Sweet, but not cloying. Bitter, but not harsh. Acidic, but not tart. Medium to full-bodied with crisp (but not prickly) carbonation. Crisp, lightly bitter finish.

Bottle. Frothy off-white excellent mostly lasting head. Ugly brown muddy colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Moderate bitter salty finnish. Oily palate. Not so great BSA.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(bottle, 33cl) Cloudy, amber to copper colour with a big and beige foamy head. Moderately yeasty, fruit-accented aroma with notes of berries, lime, as well as a bready touch and hints of caramel. Sweet flavour with a tinge of acidity and bitterness, medium to full bodied with a lively carbonation. Slightly toasty malt-character with caramel, sourish fruity and yeasty spicy notes; sweet, slightly bitter and fruity finish with a well-masked alcohol content. Pleasant to drink. 20.IX.10
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled, 330ml at Cafe D’Engel, Delft. Cloudy brown with white head. Fruity, slightly sweet, plummy, carbonated, quite similar to many of their beers I have tried this week. Not that good.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A Mes rate:
Bottle from god knows where. Salty malty nose. Lovely amber colour with a very well behaved off white head. Tangy malty flavour. Fairly one dimensional but decent enough. Slightly milky. Alcohol is hidden well apart from a slight spirit like burn at the back of the throat in the finish. Not bad.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark brown colour, with a garnet tinge. Malty, with some spice, stewed fruit and chocolate accents, but rather sweet. A bit too sweet for me, but still flavoursome and reasonably palatable. Bottled at St Albans Beer Festival.
