Bottled (thanks GarethYoung). Dark rubyish amber colour with big beige creamy head, leaves a lot of lace. Aroma is malts, hops and slight caramel. Flavour is roasted malts, caramel and flowery hops. Slight leathery and oaky hints in aftertaste, along with roasted malts and hops.

OlMalteserHead (21) - Glasgow, SCOTLAND - DEC 20, 2006
From Peckham’s, in a bottle. Thin cloudy head, dark nutty colour. Not a complex aroma, just hops and malt at a ratio of 3:1. Which is exactly why the taste shocked, wasn’t expecting greatness but slight hint of chocolate amongst the dark hops, and an aftertaste not dissimilar to that of Fuller’s London Pride.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - SEP 4, 2006
(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a beautiful, clear dark golden with a small, off-white head. Sort of fat, unclean aroma. Medium body with malty yet rather dry notes. Has a very special and not too pleasant gasoline tang that really takes some getting used to. 040906
