A malty, deep-ruby-hued ale, it features a generous amount of caramel sweetness, a reserved hop profile and a subtle warming character, at 7.7% alcohol by volume. Claymore will be available in six-packs and on draft through mid-April.

Bottle from Flink Gegist, Delft. Aroma is big caramel malt, toffee, toasted malt, burnt sugar, touch of dried dark fruit with a hint of peat and coffee adding some subtle complexity. Flavour is pretty sweet with a light bitterness in the finish. Body is above medium. Very decent example of the style.

Heavy earthy wood taste. Sweet caramel malt in the middle with a mild smoke flavor, with an abrupt moderate floral, earthy hop bitterness at the end.
