Bottle 50 cl. Pours a cloudy brown with a rough, off-white head. Lovely aroma of overripe plums and tobacco. Rich body, lowish carbonation, again plummy with some brown sugar and chocolate. A lovely decay here! 220214

Slightly hazy amber color, small steady beige head. Light toffee and malts in the nose. Medium-bodied. Nutty, sweetish, English hops. Light alcohol, a bit too watery finish. Something between ESB and English strong ale.

Hazy dark brown beer with a tidy pale tan head. Palate is softish with fine carbonation. Mild minerals. Fairly rich malt with mildly bitter dark toffee. Subtle dried fruits. Quite a bitter hop kick towards the finish which also provides a spicy bubblegum ester. Not bad.
