Titanic Captain Smiths

Bottle. High fluffy but lasting off-white head. Clear red red brwon body. Roasted barley malt aroma with caramel and fruity notes. Relatively bitter malty caramel flavor with low carbonation and a long bitter aftertaste.

Cask - JDW, Canterbury. Dark amber, slightly unclear with a frothy, off-white head. Caramel, nuts, a light fruity sweetness and a woody undertone on the nose. Quite a bitter flavour profile: a grassy, bitter fruit dominance with some initial sweetness leading to a lasting, burnt and dry yet refreshing hoppy finish. Medium body, good palate texture with a nutty aftertaste.

Cask (Angleterre, Helsinki)
Lovely fruity muesli with honey - big on the grains. Soft carbonation, smooth palate. Grapefruit zest bitterness. Some fruitiness, but the hoppiness is also quite pungently resiny. Perhaps too pungent for my tastes. Long pungent resiny hoppy finish. Lots of character, a very solid strong ale. (Though weak in alcohol for ’strong ale’, as such, but very much in that style.)

From Voldby, DK. Bottled, 290509. Amber with off-white head. Aroma of malt and hop spices. Flavor is caramel, some black berries and a touch of ripe fruit and earth.

Cask, half at The White Star. Deep dark amber with a russet tint topped by a film-type, off-white head and with solid laceworks on the glass. Dry and dark malty aroma. The flavour brings dark fruits mixed with caramel malts. Finish with bitter dark fruits. Well-bodied and pleasant (Stoke on Trent, 02.05.2009).
