2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Brown 500ml bottle, 5.2% and brewed in Wansworth according to the neck label, best before 31st Oct 2007, drank on a cold and wet 14th June 2007, it feels like winter.
Poured into a pint sleeve glass.
Rich ruby red, dark mahogany colour with a well formed off white head.
Very little aroma, malts and toast maybe.
The taste is malty and bitter, with a burnt coffee/toffee feel to it.
Fairly dry in the mouthfeel and not much of an alcohol bite to it.
I was expecting more from this beer, having in the past, drank it on cask.

On cask at steamboat, south shields. Pours copper with off white head. Good balance of malts and hops and easy drinking for a stronger ale.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Milder Antrunk, etwas malzig, trocken. Dabei schiebt sich neben dem malzigen auch eine würzige Note in den Vordergrund, um die Milde zum Mittelteil hin zu verdrängen. das Bier bleibt hier malzig und wird von einer dezenten Hopfennote durchzogen. Diese schwindet im nachgeschmack, in dem die malzige Note alleine steht und röstmalzig wird.

Decent beer but a bit thin for a winter warmer. Nice maltiness and not a lot of bitterness. Serving: Bottle

a good and easy drinking amber ale. the cane sugars added to the boil give a bit of minerality.

Bottle. Best before 05 SEP 07. Consumed 12-17-09. Murky brown with small lacing off-white head. Aroma is earthy with grass, citrus, sourdough, cheese, pot roast?, and caramel. Flavors of toffee, apple, orange, nutmeg, and ginger. Slightly acidic and sour. Light, coating mouthfeel with dry and bitter finish. Interesting and quite tasty. I just made my holiday a little bit funkier.

Odd off-putting smell.. somewhere between straw and bacon bits. Poured well, good head.. my taste rating is based more on the absence thereof and that it wasn’t necessarily bad.
