Drink legendary. This distinct ruby beer’s sweet caramel and fruity aromas tease the taste buds. Brewed with smooth and rich Chocolate and Crystal malts & a blend of Fuggles and Styrian Golding hops. Expect a delicious full-bodied toffee flavour and a fruity finish of figs, raisins and dates.

Bottle. Pours clear dark amber with small off-white head. Clear aroma of malt, caramel, and yeast, with touches of hops. Sweetish flavour of caramel malt, with nutty and hoppy notes and estery touches. Bitter and caramellish aftertaste. Reasonable.

Not sure what prompted this purchase after passing by so many times prior but such is life. Dark mahogany pour. Small beige head. Nose is malty and some earthy tones. Tastes of earthy bitters, light cherry, caramel, plenty malty and a touch of licking the glass in a phone booth or bus stop (try it). Chewy palate. Cola on finish.

Paloność, troszkę rodzynek, chlebek. Barwa ciemno miedziana, przejrzyste, piana dość trwała, ładny lacing. Goryczka niska, palona. Niestety wyczuwalny alkohol, wodniste.

Deep red, clear with a creamy off white head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel and some hops and honey sense. Medium bitter with a more roasted malt and hops end. Byske Holiday 2022.
