Ridgeway FES matures in a similar way to vintage port. Roasted malts and leaf hops initially provide an aroma of breakfast coffee and fresh spices that gradually fades to reveal liquorice, caramel and raisin notes that are products of the aging process. Beneath all this change, sits a solid and resilient backbone of bitter English hops.

0,5 bottle. A perfect-looking stout in a very nice bottle (behind a traditional, gold-plated label): Almost completely black, (more like) the head stopped nicely at half a finger, nice and thick and yellowish brown. Aroma: as it should be. Coffee, earthy, chocolate base, caramel, and then as it warms up it gets spicier. Delicious! The body corresponding to 8%, maybe a little lighter than I expected, but that's okay. There is a little carbonation, otherwise a hard, dry sip. Respectable. Taste: coffee, earthiness, dry, chewed coffee bean-like effect, the alcohol is moderately felt. As it warms up, more and more flavors are felt, especially if you rinse it all over your mouth! A great classic stout!

Nagyon szép üvegben (hagyományőrző, aranyozott címke mögött) egy tökéletes kinézetű stout: Szinte teljesen fekete, (inkább az is) a hab fél ujjnyin szépen megállt, szép sűrű és sárgásbarna. Aroma: amilyennek lenni kell. Kávé, földes, csokis alap, karamell, majd ahogy melegszik egyre fűszeresebb. Finom! A 8%-nak megfelelő test, talán egy hangyányit könnyebb, mint vártam, de nincs vele baj. Van egy kis szénsavasság is, egyébként kemény, száraz kortyérzet. Tekintélyes. Íz: kávé, földesség, száraz, elrágott kávébabra emlékeztető hatás, az alkohol közepesen érződik. Ahogy melegszik egyre több íz érezhető, főleg ha az egész szádban át-öblögeted! Remek klasszikus stout! Szerintem alul-értékelt még ezzel a pontszámmal is!

500ml bottle.
Aroma id roasted malt, coffee, and very sweet licorice. Flavour is sweet. Reminds me of a very sweet rum cake. Its bready, and full bodied. Very smooth palate, clean roasty finish.

Bottiglia. Al naso arrivano impressioni di caffè e cioccolato. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il mantello birroso superiore resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sul palato si riportano indizi di caramello, miele, crosta di pane, cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia e vino rosso.

Аромат отличный для стиля. Есть бархотистость от шоколадки и и намеком на зерна кофе, легкая сладость, небольшая кремовость стаутная. Цвет черный, пенка небольшая кофейная. Вкус умеренно сладкий, легкая кремовость снова, даже маслянистость. При глотке даже намеки на бобы, снова шоколадка. В целом в стиль и очень хорошо.

Bottle, 0.50l. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, grass and faint dried fruit. Pours dark brown color with thin creamy light brown head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts moderately roasted malty and dried fruity, following is grassy and slightly coffeish, mouthfeel is smooth and warm alcoholic, while finish is average bitter. Medium to full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Very nice stout with well hidden ABV…

0.5l (or pint? haven't checked) bottle purchased at Pivný Raj Mlynské nivy, shared on the terrace above the SMASH Homebrew competition with the eclectic combo of Hrabren, AJ, YoungMarijan/PBF_pivica/korica/something, Renje and Jan V.B., because why not. Very dark brown body, quite murky, off-white head. Sweetish, nutty aroma, dark malty, grainy notes, light raisins in the aroma. Sweetish, lighter body, chocolate, grainy notes, light coffee, very vague citric notes. Oddly, some stone fruit as well, peachy, ending dry. Quite okay, slightly messy, but with well hidden alcohol. Maybe we underrated it slightly, maybe not.
