Belgian Blue is their very popular seasonal beer which has Christmas berry overtones and a slight blue tint to the head, making it a well loved and distinctive winter warmer

NWAF 24 Jan 13. 0 skum. Gråblå! Aroma av saft. Tynn saftsmak. Antydning til syrlighet i avslutninga - etter hvert. Ikke bra. Er dette et øl?

Bizarre purple colour with silvery head. It’s earthy and sweet with a fruity, syrupy edge.

Cask at Cross Daggers, Coal Aston - Deep ruby red body, near purple, blue tinged white head. Forget the novelty with this, it is probably one of Bradfield’s best offerings, nice and fruity with a rich dark fruit finish that has loads of berries in the nose, taste and ending.

Cask @ Market Porter with Magic Dave6 and Mes. This was probably my least favorite of the Market Porter part of the crawl. The appearance is nice with the reddish brown color and a good off white head. However the strong sulfur aroma ruined it a lot for me. Fruity hints and malt are also present. The taste could be described as biting a cows ass and then drink a fruity malty beer .

Cask Conditioned at Market Porter, London
Mahogany color, thin head. There is a light aroma of fruits and earthy character. Quite dark caramel flavor and strong bitterness, with a bitter fruity touch, not very pleasant for me. Drinkable, but something is not for me here.
