Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear amber with an off-white head. The nose is full of butterscotch - damm this is buttery. Light body, sweet caramel and nuts with a light bitterness. As this is completely fresh I suppose the butter notes were intended. Weird... 171210

bottle from Bierzwerg. Light brown colour, large and creamy off-white head. Spicy hoppy nose. Light-bodied, malty background with hints of caramel. Dry hop flavours, slightly grassy-citrusy, perhaps a bit earthy. Smooth palate.

Cask at the Cleveland Arms. We are nearing Christmas, and the Cleveland is decked out excessively. The beer, though, pours a clear, dark garnet brown with a short but strong beige head. Rish malt aroma with juicy fruits, bread, and berries. Smooth flavor, bready like fruitcake, juicy with oranges and cherries, just slightly bitter with dashes of herbs. Alcohol hints dance about. Light to medium in body with mld carbonation. Finishes malty, sugary, with light spiciness and winter fruits. In the background, Marvin Gaye croons out "I heard it through the grapevine." I just listened to his album Whatโs Oinโ On? and can understand why the album gets such acclaim. I taste some grapes in this beer, too. It is warm in the Cleveland Arms tonight, but not too warm.

Cask handpull at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Reddish chestnut colour with whopping great big cream head. Some distinctive nutty yeast aroma. Some ok malts in mouth. Not much hop on finish. All about the house yeast which is distinctive and enjoyable. To a point.

(bottle) Clear, amber to copper colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Moderately sweet cara-malty aroma with mildly spicy notes, accompanied by subtle fruity and woody hops. Bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Regarding the low abv a quite hearty cara-malty base, slightly nutty and berry-fruity taste with spicy and woody hops towards the moderately dry and bitter finish. Nice one, although not overly exciting. 25.XI.10
