Smooth n’ malty, maybe a bit too sweet.

Amber with fair ligth brown head. Sweet aroma with a hint of alcohol. Big sweet taste and a aftertaste of burnt caramel.

Aroma: fruity, syrup, honey, lovely malt, dates, some hops, alcohol, grapes. Apperance: stark orange red (clear), yellowish white foam that sets quickly. Flavor: initially metallic, pretty bitter, apply afterharshness, vinous, some sweetness (raisinlike), mineral, slightly salty. Palate: very good, dry and rolling, rough.

Red and brown color. A little brownish head. Aroma from hops and a sweet taste.

Bottle. Amber colour with a small baige head. Malty chocolat aroma and a sweet malty light hoppy taste. Medium body and a sweet light dry finish.

This beer really is deep ruby red. It has a nice bitterness and a luring caramell maltyness I for one don’t mind. However does feel a little thin if I recall correctly, also s biy boring (in lack of a better word). Might have again to re-rate.

Pours a intruiging slightly oily looking, murky dark almost opaque amber colour with a fine bubbled medium size shortish lasting beige head. Aroma is mainly fruity malt with a hint of something medicinal. Palate is smooth and medium bodied, slightly cloying with low carbonation. Flavour is medium strong molasses and generic cola sweet toated grainy malt. The bitterness seems added on like an afterthought appearing late in the finish as an over roasted almost burnt malt with little to none hop bitterness.

Bottled. Pasteurised. This was drunk in two parts. I started it last night, and I was thoroughly enjoying it, when I fell ill. My last words as I staggered upstairs to the toilet were "Save that beer in the fridge for me." And now I'm finishing it off. Of course, the oxidised flavours of a pastuerised beer are more apparant the next day when all the fizz has gone, but the firm mouthfeel, and the sultana fruits and brown sugar are still there. I should imagine this would be excellent in the cask.

Bottled. Dark amber. Aroma from toffee and wood. Soft, vinous palate. Flavour from toffee and chocolate with a distinct alcoholfeel.

Red-brown color, a nice thick head. Aroma is fruity. Tastes of carmael, maybe some kind of fruity caramel. Some bitterness in the finish. A little different but a rather nice ale.
