Bottle. Dark copper. Minimal head that dissappears in a minute. Aroma of malts, dark fruits and british hops. Taste is malts, dark fruits, biscuit, oranges and hops. I’m surprised that I seem to enjoy even the tiny sense of butter....Low carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel. Yummy.

Bottle from a local supermarket. Pours deep amber, hazy, with a lasting small off white head. Aroma of sweet caramel, hop, barley, and apple. Heavy sweetness, minimal bitterness. Medium body, thick texture. Finish is sweet, fruity, with a bitter/light sour edge.

Bottle from Dirty Dick’s, Halifax. Clear amber with no head. Has a light toffee-caramel aroma and taste. It’s fairly strong tasting but this is certainly not overbearing.

Kirkas meripihkanvärinen olut vaahtoaa melko vähäisesti. Tuoksu karamellinen, puumainen ja hieman alkoholinen; aavistus hedelmää taustalla. Maku maltaisen karamellinen, alkoholinen, puinen ja vähäisesti hedelmäinen, mutta ikävällä tavalla pistävän metallinen. Keskitäyteläinen suutuntuma. Kokonaisuus on hieman pliisu. Trooperikaan ei soinut taustalla.

Jun ’16. A 0.33 l bottle. It poured a clear copper body with tiny head atop. Biscuit and orange aroma. Lightly bitter flavor, more hoppy (fruity, floral) than other English bitters. Also malty, caramel, dry biscuit. Medium in body with shorter, very dry paper/herbal finish typical for the style (when tasting I thought it’s an ESB, and it is actually). Not bad, likely a tad better than the regular trooper, although each one has its own qualities.

Pours a clear golden-amber colour with a warm cap, decent retention and some nice creamy lacing. Aromas of caramel, light alcohol, bready and raisin notes. The taste starts off with apples flavours, going through other fruity malts and some blended grassy hops in the finish with the warming of the alcohol. Not a bad English Strong Ale with enough going on all around. Just a tad too rich to have another.

0.33l bottle. This is a crystal clear kinda darker wood golden colored with a small but persistent and quite lacing grey head on the top. It has an sweetish caramel-malty aroma. Some champagne soda sweetness and fruitiness. Cola nuts and English yest. I smells quite English to be honest. Like a powerful bitter. I don't hate it but it's not directly mine thing either. It doesn't taste all that good. It's really metallic and actually somewhat unpleasant to have in the mouth. At least in the beginning. Vegetable bitterness with cabbage, rusty nails and caramel. Feels flat in the taste. On the mouthfeel it's nice and oily while soft on the bubbles. Just not something I like too much this. 29.01.2016
