Bottle: Poured a deep brown color ale with a medium size off-white foamy head with some retention and lacing. Aroma of sweet caramelized malt notes with some light toffee notes with some barrel notes clearly distinguishable. Taste is also a mix of heavy caramelized malt notes with some residual sugar notes and barrel notes rounding off any rough edges in this beer. Body is full for style with good carbonation and light warming alcohol notes are perceptible. Solid BA version of this classic beer.

Brown with minimal tan head. Very similar to the classic version. Sweet malty notes, nutty, chocolate, caramel, a bit of oak and some sherry. This version is less sweet and I appreciate that. Body is full but again, not as full as expected. Very nice.

330ml bottle bought as part of a delivery from RAD Beer and drunk at home. Orange-brown, clear, almost no head. Big boozy toffee, treacle, nuts, oak on the nose. Sweet taste, hot molasses, stone fruits, more toffee. Body is thicker, and carbonation heavier, than appearance would suggest. What a treat. And shades the original.

Аромат не слишком яркий, но при согревание очень выразительно ощущается патока и ее сладкие нотки, также немного карамели, классические для этого стиля дрожжи и в целом хлебные нотки, в целом немного похоже на ликер. Цвет как у коньяка, пены нету и следа, вообще. Вкус просто божественен. Чувствуются сначала легкие нотки дрожжей и немного белого хлеба, уже понятно что будет весьма сладко. Также карамели больше чем при запахе. При глотке очень согревает горло. Также, патока только раскрывается в конце. Она не концентрированна а очень сбалансированна. Когда пиво еще не согрелось очень ощущалось какой то сладкий пирог, причем с яблоками. В целом просто абсолютный топ, на порядок лучше чем оригинал.
