Kanskje det er timingen, men dette var sånn helt passe.

Keg at Bishops Arms Östersund. Sweet aroma. Mahogany appearance. Nothing great or bad to comment on. Classic strong ale but not too much intrigue in the end.

All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso e persistente. Il tetto della bocca porta note di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, agrumi, arancia rossa, cannella e frutta passita.

AROMA: Initially there is a mild sweetness with mild scents of caramel, biscuit, and malt. But then, at the end, a very small amount of musty sourness (e.g. old gym socks) wafts in. Mind you, it's not overwhelming, but I do find it a bit off-putting. I bought a 4-pack so when I have my next one, I'll see if the mustiness is still there, or if I maybe just got an "off" bottle.

APPEARANCE: Pours a clear medium-amber with a 1-finger, tight-froth, light-tan, head that dissipates very quickly with minimal lacing. It looks fine in my clear glass but the head really should last much longer.

TASTE: Mildly sweet with mild flavors of malt and caramel. The finish has a mild amount of bitterness, which I find to be appropriate. As the beer warms, the sweetness level increases a bit and the caramel flavor comes through a touch more.

MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied with a somewhat smooth texture. Carbonation seems average. The finish is medium dry.

OVERALL: Well, this is another beer that I probably won't purchase again. While it has a nice enough flavor, there is nothing that I find unique or interesting. On top of that, I found the aroma to be a little wonky. I'm not sure why I've had such a string of buying "ho-hum" beers lately. Either I'm just bad at picking new beers to try, or I've become jaded and am now a beer snob. At any rate, I did enjoy trying this beer, even if it didn't win me over.

Notater fra RBHD-samling hos Johan, og alt delt broderlig mellom oss tre. 0,5 flaske: klar kobbergylden med fint skum som varer. Herlig, maltdrevet aroma og smak med diskrete urter og appelsinmarmelade. Balansert bitterhet og fremragende drikkeglede.

Bottle. Suprisingly good tasting. I was not much on English Beer but I’m starting to come around. Nice reddish gold color. Good aroma and nice taste. Recommend it. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Welcome Back Ale on 21 Jan 2025 at 05:39 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.
