Bottle in the park, RBJG2. Amber golden colour. Aroma is dark fruit. Taste is chewy, big body, liquorice, fruity again, full on. Boozy. Very nice. Re-rate at the Watering Hole birthday do. Red brown colour, small thin golden head. Aroma is Xmas cake, fruity, booze. Taste is great, toffee, dark fruit, sticky caramel. Treacle. Really good. Has gone up one point this time.

Midtown tasting, thanks Tim. Pours bright amber, some beige foam on the top. Grassy nose, candy and bitter hops. Burnt caramel sugar, good hop bitterness, somewhat grassy overall feel. Warming. Bit harsh hops and not that balanced, still pleasant to drink.

Draught at the Great Japan Beer Festival 2009. Nice, fruity, cherry aroma. Lots of alcohol in the mouth, though. Lots of hops. Harsh but interesting. Light body, very estery. Nice looking orange color.
