Thanks to the two fermentations in the Brakspear ’Double Drop’ system, this highly aromatic and satisfying strong beer delivers its rich flavour with subtlety and balance.
Crystal, Black and Maris Otter pale malts provide the backbone of this outstanding rich beer. Hops are added three times to provide a good balance between bitterness and fragrance.
This is a triple hopped strong beer, packaged in individually numbered bottles.

Flasche Nr. 157152 (laut Webseite abgefüllt Juli 2014), von Getränkefeinkost, Berlin. - Kupferrot, leicht trüb; für ein englisches Bier ungewöhnlich reiche Schaumkrone. - Nase angenehm toastmalzig mit mildem englischen Hopfen, Rosinen und leichter Säure. - Antrunk brauseartig dünn mit getoastetem Malz und eher mildem fruchtig-herbem Hopfen, überreifer süßlicher Frucht (Banane) und einem deutlichen säuerlichen Stich. Viel zu rezent, dünnes Mundgefühl. Im Abgang gut bitter aber ohne ausgeprägte Hopfenaromen. Kräftig bitterer, etwas leerer Nachtrunk. - Wenig befriedigendes Ale mit schönen Malznoten aber unpassenden faulig-fruchtigen und säuerlichen Noten, erstaunlich wäßrig für ein Bier von fast 7 %. Besser genießbar, wenn man die Kohlensäure herausgeschüttelt hat.

500ml bottle # 038189: BBD 31 Oct 14, some 9 days ago. Poured slowly into an Abbot Ale glass tankard on 9 Nov 14. Huge lightly tanned foaming head on top of a dull chestnut coloured body. This bottle conditioned ale has an aroma that leads with roasted maltiness, some dark fruits follow along with a raisin hint or two, but light roasted malts rule the nose. The taste is also malt first, semi-sweet and again with a fruity and dried fruit feel later in the flavouring. Good body depth which helped to hide the alcohol level nicely. I really enjoyed this brew and am annoyed I allowed the bottle to become ’out of date’ before drinking it: I must have had it on my shelves for over a year and just kept overlooking it and awaiting the right time to open it.

Nose is short; yeast, caramel, slight lactose. Taste is brown sugar, caramel, nut, leading to a too-sweet note (banana milkshake?) in the soft cream finish. Moutfeel is good. I can’t get past the really odd banana note in the finish, it’s very off putting.

500ml bottle from Asda. Deep nut brown colour with a small beige head. Nutty, malty aroma with caramel. Medium-bodied. Nutty, taste with caramel, and a spicy bitter aftertaste.

Bottle. Copper-amber, no head. Very sweet in aroma and taste with some bitterness. Relatively strong tasting.

Bottle from Tesco Extra, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire Friday 3rd January consumed Saturday 4th January 2014. Pours mid to dark brown a little hazy, the head swiftly departed. Nutty with some vanilla on the nose. Soft in the mouth, a little nuttiness with a big dose of caramel. Not the beer I recall i.e. the previous 7%+ version. Its ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov13 3.2

Clear deep amber beer, tidy pale cream coloured head. Bit of an odd nose - milky and sour! Palate is light and airy and a little dry. Slightly sour dry fruits with mild dry nuts. Light bitterness before a dry finish. Not convinced this is right, but it’s a pasteurised bottle. Odd!
