First brewed in 1998 to celebrate Shepherd Neame's tercentenary, this copper-bronze, bottle conditioned beauty is an intense yet uniquely intricate offering thrice-hopped during the brewing process. This adds rich resinous notes and spikes of citrus to a moreish strong ale already rife with notes of liquorice, Masala wine, caramel and spicy orange. A frisson of dark fruit freshens the finish.

Barwa bursztynowa, klarowne, piana biała, dość obfita, dość trwała. W aromacie nuty ziołowe, lekki tytoń, ciastka, herbatniki. W smaku słodowe w typie herbatnikowym, do tego zioła i tytoń, estry po ogrzaniu. Goryczka do średniej, wysycenie niskie do średniego, ciało w normie. Niezłe, ale trochę za bardzo estrowe pod koniec.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Bottle from Asda online. It pours clear brown with a sturdy off - white head. The aroma is sweet, molasses, dried fruits, cherry, blueberry, Eccles cake, liquorice, fruit & nut chocolate, and toasty grain. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, toothy, chewy, toasty brown sugars, candied fruits, dried berries, cola cubes, cherry cola, earthy, leafy, varnished oak and warming alcohol boost with a drying, chewy finish. Average body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Fruity cola boost vibes. Not a huge amount of depth. Ok.
