Ushers Tawny Ale

Bottle. 1998 vintage. Bright copperish-tawny coloured body with a medium white bubbly head. The aroma is moderately cheesy, lots of bread, and sweet caramel-like malts. Certainly the rich malts are prominent in this beer - lots of bread, some sourish malt, and sweet caramel flavours. Soft, creamy palate. Pretty good. Thanks for sharing this, Doug.

Vintage 1998. Amber with bright white head indicating hoppy character. Rich, juicy malts, woody character and light hoppy nose. Gentle alcoholic touch molding malty richness. Medium bodied, with some bitterness at finish. Very neat aged mellow ale. Solid.

Bottle 21/06/2004 Golden coloured and strong in alcohol with some hoppiness. Crisp malt finish.

(Bottle 50 cl) Vintage 1999. Reddish brown with a dissipating head. Very refined and complex brew with a vinous touch and some nutty, port-like notes. 231000

Pours a tall airy tan head on a slightly hazy amber colored body. Aroma is malty and spicy with a roasted tone and hints of alcohol. Plenty of malt in the flavor. Notes of fruit, raisin, prune, hop and liquorice. Some sourness in the end. Tasty but rather thin bodied.

Bottled, pasteursed. Golden amber with restained head. Understated fruity sweetish beer with a caramel base. Almost port like in character with a late hoppiness.

Golden with a nice and creamy head. Aroma is fruity, some blueberries in it? Has a somewhat sour, fruity flavor, and with not much bitterness in the finish.

Bottled. Amber with almost no head. Aroma from apples, toffee and hop. Rather lively and sweetish. Flavour from dried fruit and chocolate.
