Bottle at AndrewC. Clear ruby colour. .no real head. Slight oxidised. Raisin bit of spice. A little nutmeg maybe. Not exactly thin body but it could be plumper. Yes raisin. Yes some Christmas cake fruit. Its fine but would very better fresher.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Kris Wines a few years back. This beer is a ’Vintage 2013’. Pours clear amber-ruby with a fine, creamy khaki head. Nice aged character in the nose, with ripe and gooey fruits, caramel, toasted malts, graham cracker, toffee. Medium sweet flavour, smooth and luscious, with lots of ripe, semi-dark fruits, plenty of fig and date, some berries, brown bread, chewy toffee. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nicely balanced in the finish, with more bready malts, toffee, hints of toast, figs, berries. Lovely stuff overall. Has aged gracefully.

Bottle at home, 27/05/16. Chestnut brown with a well appointed beige cap. Nose is bitter dark fruit rinds, toasted brown sugar, caramel, earthy hop notes, candied fruit peels. Taste comprises toasted brown sugar, treacle toffee, sticky toffee pudding, light spice, caramel fudge. Medium + bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a sticky hop dusting. Solid old ale ... plenty of flavour pulsing throughout this one.

Bottle at Browns Restaurant, Leeds, Thursday 12th November 2015. Dark amber appearance with a thin off white head. A touch of wet wood, fruit and caramel intermingle on the nose. Some similar elements picked out in the mouth, fruit a touch of tartness at times, plumskins, some oakiness, but overall an interesting and rather decent effort from Sharps in fact pleased to see it in a restaurant like this.

Bottle from the Utobeer stall in Borough Market. Pours amber with a beige head. Aroma of dark fruits, maybe even plum, and date. Med body. Flavor is dark fruits, light treacle, perhaps a touch of smoke. It’s sort of fruity barleywine. I’m liking it!

330ml bottle @ Shrewsbury Beer Share, Sep 15, courtesy of my good self. Pours hazy amber with an off-white head. Caramel aroma. Complex, balanced taste bringing vanilla and honey into the aged malty mix. Basically tastes like everything Tally Ho wants to be.

Shared bottle (# 9 on the label):BBD 11 Dec 17. Drank at the 16 Sep 15 Shrewsbury Bottle Exchange Group meeting: cheers Mat for this offering. Deep amber pour with a good head on each glass. Nose had a malty, toffee like aroma. Taste was malty again with a toffee feel, some red fruit flavours calmed the sweetness down nicely and the beer as a whole was a lot better than I thought it would be. Good old pre-conceptions: didn’t even know Sharps had ’6 Vintages’ was my first comment on seeing the bottle: I actually enjoyed the blend and it’s flavours.

Hazy amber beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Smooth semi dry palate with modest fine carbonation. Aged tasting malts - oxidised caramel and a touch of paper. Light thin malt cream. Mild spice. Little dried fruits. Light semi dry finish with a malty linger. It hangs together okay but doesn’t bring much to the party other than aged taste.

Bottle from the Bottle Bank. Appearance - deep amber with a lovely red hue. Decent head - would’ve been a 5 if it’d hung around. Nose - highland toffee, some fresher malty notes too. Taste - lovely rich deep confected red fruits and toffee again, moving into molasses almost. Palate - medium to full bodied with a big creamy sweet yet tangy texture and a fairly balanced finish, all said. Overall - as they say, it’s still very drinkable even with the richness.
