Bottle at home. It pours deep copper with a small off-white head. The nose is wood, leather, fruit cake, caramel, raisin and candied fruit. The taste is wood, leather, nut, caramel, light astringency, burnt cake, lightly acidic and earth with a dry, alcoholic finish. Full body, moderate carbonation and oily mouth-feel. A bit rough-around the edges, but still not bad.

Clear bright amber beer. Tidy cream coloured head. Estery fruits on the nose. Light dry palate, a little crisp. Sweetish malt with estery banana and and a trace of sweet peach candy fruits. Minerals and mild lactose. Finishes with an alcohol evaporating dryness. A little apple in the aftertaste. Not bad if not exactly subtle!

Bottle: Chestnut-amber coloured, hazy with a small off-white foamy layer, dried fruits and sweet dark malt in the nose, combined with traces of metal and a light acidity; bitter-sourish flavour, pretty light bodied, short caramelly-fruity finish, a light acidity detectable in the aftertaste. Completely disappointing...

(bottle, 33cl) Cloudy, amber to copper colour with a medium-sized and slightly tanned foamy head. Sour and slightly sweet cara-malty aroma with notes of dark and red berries and a tinge of leather. Mildly bitter and slightly sour flavour, medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Moderately toasted malty taste with caramel and vinous fruity notes, accompanied by a tinge of vinegar; bitter and vaguely sweet malty finish with berry-fruits, caramel and a touch of vinegar in the aftertaste. A likeable and mildly sour Old Ale. 21.VII.12

330ml bottle. Cloudy amber colour, some chunks floating around, with small, collapsing, minimally lacing, off-white head. Toasted malt aroma, explicit alcoholic note. Taste has a fruity tart note, decent malty undertone with a grainy touch.
