Bright amber, thin head. Looks really nice. Sweet, some inappropriate fruity esters ... well they’re appropriate but not when this strong. There’s a simple, sticky malt character underneath. Neither the quality nor balance are on point for old ale or ESA.

On tap at Callister. Pours a slightly hazy pale copper with a tan head. Aroma is caramel, hops, some smoky notes. Taste is pretty the same with moderate sweetness and bitterness. Good stuff.

Draft - Toffee and caramel notes. Cloudy copper gold with a decent white head. Rich caramel and light toffee with a bit of head. Rich and malty, good winter warmer.

Draught at Callister, Vancouver
Hazy dark amber color, small head. It has a good body structure and medium malt depth, with medium level of residual sweetness; but the yeast provides a quite strong candy/estery character that is not common in English Strong Ales; the bitterness is definitively above average, with hop resins, but although not typical this is appreciated. The alcohol is a tad too evident; at this level it shouldn’t.
Good powerful drink.

On tap at Callister, pours a clear dark orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted English bready malt and some earthiness. Flavour is quite sweet, with lots of toasted bready caramel malt that dominates, along with a fairly boozy kick that lingers. Not traditionally English, but it works very well. Nice one.
