Cask @ BBF 2011. Amber color. Floral hops and orange in the shy aroma. Alcoholic flavor, malty and sticky, yet not too sweet. Dried fruits. Bready notes, even some perfume.

Light brown color. Apricots, cherries and oranges. Slightly syrupy sweet malty backbone. Apricots and cream with some buscuit notes on the palate. Not bad.

Cask, 11% at Borefts 2011. Not much aroma. Hazy dark copper colour. Very small white head. The flavour is nicely malty. With a hint of vanilla and a good dose of alcohol. Burning alcohol in the finish, actually. Too strong, in my opinion.

(Cask at Euston Tap, Euston, London, 25 Nov 2010) Mahogany colour with creamy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with dried fruit, raisins, molasses and slightly rubbery, earthy hops. Malty, fruity taste with notes of raisins, prunes, dried fruit, caramel and a warming, vinous finish with a mild, earthy bitterness. Full body, quite sweet and vinous. Very nice and tasty.
