Tasting at Paul and Lorna’s flat. Deepest Croydonia. Thanks to Paul. Hazy amber beer, good pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry and with good fine carbonation. Nice malts, light and airy with creamy caramel. Touch of generic fruits. Light finish. Airy, malty, tasty!

Bottle at the pre-Zwanze tasting in Croydonia, thanks to Paulo, 20/09/14. Hazed amber/chestnut brown with a moderate beige covering that dissipates retaining as spotting and edgework. Nose is toffee, woody notes, vanilla, light butterscotch. Taste comprises dark malts, caramel, light Beglian yeast tones, tobacco, brown sugars, dark toffee. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok stuff.

Bottle shared pre Zwanze 2014 - thanks to Paul! Pours hazy amber-ruby with a tight, off-white head. Nice malty nose, notes of ripening fruits, light spices, honey. Medium sweet flavor with pleasant, rounded toffee character, ripe berry accents, bread, hints of cinnamon. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Pretty well balanced on the finish, more bready malts, toffee, ripe fruits, berries. Lovely.

The taste is rich, brown bread, fruit loaf, caramel, toffee, raisin, sultana, bruised banana and light alcohol. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Nice malty number. Decent.

Bottle from Cornelius. Murky ruby body with a thin off-white head that slowly fades. Nice lacing. Aroma of stewed tea, earth and autumn leaves. Sweet flavour of prunes, caramel and toffee. Medium body with an oily texture. Light fizz. A rich, malty beer.
