Sampled on a blind tasting with Dr. Beer. Smell is moderately fruity. Mild, creamy, coockie dough maltyness. Some sugary undertone. Taste is full malty, mild hops ( bit grassy ) very low bitterness. Easy drinker, but with a hopped undertone (underneath the prominent maltyness ) . Decent , rather creamy body, with moderate carbonation.

Bottle. Mahagony/amber coloured. Small head. Aroma of toffee and british hops. Taste is caramell, biscuit, toffee, nuts, butterscotch and some citrus fruits. Low carbonation. A fine ale but too much diacetyl for my liking. Still good though.

It’s a classic and you can see why. A lovely malty flavour and texture that is cut by the bitterness of the hops. You could taste the alcohol, but that adds another layer to the flavour.

Vaalean kuparinruskea väri, vaahtoa alussa paljon, jättää pitsireunuksen. Kohtalaisen mieto haju. Maku karamellimainen ja kohtalaisen kevyt, jättää pienen katkeron maun jälkeensä. Hyvä olut.

500ml bottle. Clear mahogany brown colour with a small beige head. Aroma is sweet, malt, toffee, caramel. Taste is sweet and malty, toffee, biscuity, light fruit, hops. Bitterness is quite mild. Oily texture. Quite nice for a style I’m not so keen on.
