Our 100th batch, brewed for the enjoyment of the brewers, but popular demand forced us to release it commercially. Most enjoyable in a comfortable chair in front of a roaring fire.

Recommended serving temperature 16°C/61°F Ingredients: Maris Otter, wheat, and chocolate malt; Columbus, Chinook, and Centennial hops; English ale yeast, and our local Grimstad water

Bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Hazy, deep copper colour. Thin, lasting, clingy, beige head. Viscous and leggy. Big, DIPA aroma going on. Fusty, stewed fruit hop. Some dried vine fruits. Peppery spice. Missus says liquorice. Taste is thick, chewy sweet, turning rich, greasy, stewed hop bitter. It’s full on, certainly, but not heady. Palate is soft, rich, and full. Finishes long, resinous, oily bitter. Big beer. Really enjoyed this.

2014 bottle. Thanks AFH Dark plum orange 1 finger yellowish head. January 2014 Purchase date. Nose is really interesting. A little bit of copper, smoke, pennies, raw grain. Taste is pretty good. It actually has grape juice, plum, muscat, some lemon rind. It’s very interesting. turned from like a barleywine to a pale wheat ale with a high ABV. turned interesting and I like it

500 ml bottle purchased back on 12 January 2014, spilt two ways. Dark garnet color with mild head retention. Aroma is layers of dark fruits, no kidding. Hints of cinnamon, brown sugar and yeast. Wow, the flavor is very sugary. The yeast comes through after all the dark fruit and sugar with a mild citrus tone underneath. Also a burnt grain note. Mild bitterness that helps the malt base. The carbonation gives a nice smoothness on the tongue. I like it.

Pours brown with a small head, lots of floating yeast chunks.Nose shows pine needles, spicy hops, heavy sweet malt, reminiscent of malt extract. Also some burnt sugar.Pretty similar flavours, massive amounts of sweet malt with some toasty notes backed by heaps of piny and spicy hops.

Bottle from Steins. Pours a cloudy brown with beige head that leaves sticky lackng. The aroma is caramel, dark fruits, and citrus. Medium mouth with strong caramel malt, dark fruit, and boozy finish. Good.

500 ml bottle, brewed 09.12.13
Dark brown body, with a big, lacing, creamy, dark beige head.
Aroma with dominant dried fruits, nuts, citric hops, liquorice, bread.
Taste follows this and adds slight ash and wood.
Full, oily mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes roasty, dark fruity, hoppy and ashy.

Really tasty and quaffable! Full and smooth malts, with fruity hops and some nice, sublte ashy notes, that balances the big sweetness. Drinks very smooth, the ABV is well hidden. Great, but still not my favourite beer from this brewery, which is #500.
