Minimal beige head cover finely carbonated mahogany coloured body. Stewed fruit & sugar roma. Medium Bodied. Airy. fine carbonation on the palate. Cloying. Sweet stewed fruits to the fore with lots of sugar. This is followed by a bitter back of citrus, hops & clove with long grapey finish. At four years old this tastes like it is past it’s best & at three years old was at it’s premium.

(Bottle, 0.65 l - BB 12 Oct 2021, at Kitty’s, 20170215) The beer poured mahogany coloured and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had malts, molasses ,grass and sweetness. Palate was full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, grass, molasses, pine, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, hoppy and bitter. A good malty brew with hop bite and it hid its high ABV well.

Big slightly fizzy-creamy longlasting head. Aroma is sweet fruity, leafs, minerals, fruit stones, caramel malts, grass, dried fruits, raisins, alcohol, hops, bark, citrus peel. Taste is sweet boozy, weeds, leafs, alcohol, minerals, harsh hops, fruit stones, sugar, bark, dried fruits, hay, sawdust, cardboard, soil. Longlasting harsh bitterness, boozy mouthfeel. Fair enough.
