Bottle from Home Bargains. Used to drink this quite regularly, but this is the first bottle I’ve had for a long time. Has a vague aroma of malts. Pours a rich dark ruby red with a rapidly dissipating cream head. Taste is mainly sweet, reminiscent of dandelion and burdock, but also some malty understones. Finish like burnt rubber- better than its sounds ! I like this beer, good to relax with.

Bottle, from historic notes. Source not recorded. Poured mid-brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, light roasting, a little chocolate and dark fruit. Medium plus sweetness, light bitterness. Light body, watery texture, average carbonation. Bit insipid.

Gedronken met Benzai. Diep donkerbruin bier. Aroma van koffie. Het heeft de smaak van slappe koude koffie. Weinig nasmaak.

Bottle @ home. Nice brown color with a red glare coming through, medium sized light brown colored head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is quite malty, caramalts, caramel and dark raisins. Taste malts, caramel, lightly chocolate malt, quite sweet, dark raisins again. Low to average body and carbonation, yet suitable for the beer. Not bad.

Bottle at home from Morrisons. Well chilled and a good pour into the tankard. A head and lots of lacing combined with a rather pleasing colour; a deep chestnut brown. The taste was that of a slightly watered down, but tasty brown ale. I am a bit of a fan of well made low abv beers and this ticked all of the boxes for me. To have all the true brown ale flavours and mouthfeel in beer below 3% takes some skill. I have a suspicion that this doesn't want to be served warm. Anyway, bravo to the brewers and a perfect accompaniment to watching Happy! on Netflix.

275ml bottle into glass. Red/brown beer with thin bubbly head. Sweet malt nose. Peppery, zingy but really, really light. Old fashioned quaffer.

500ml bottle. Clear dark brown colour with a small beige head. Aroma: light malty, caramel, toffee. Taste: sweet malts, caramel and toffee. Medium body and carbonation, fairly smooth mouthfeel. Overall it’s lacking the richness of flavour claimed on the label, but given such a low ABV it’s not too bad, not one worth seeking out though.

0.5 l bottle at ’Gasthaus zur Eule’, best before November 2017. Clear, very dark red to black with a thin, frothy, quickly diminishing, light beige head. Sweetish, malty and slightly fruity aroma of caramel, sweet licorice and some blueberry. Rather sweet, malty, a bit fruity and minimally roasty taste of caramel, sweet licorice, blueberry and wine gum, followed by a short, just slightly bitter and a little roasty finish. Almost medium-bodied, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Interesting stuff, especially considering the abv, never watery but also not a revelation of course.

275ml bottle from King of the Belgains, Hartford. Dark brown, opaque with a slight purplish hue. Light aroma of porridge, Ovaltine. Taste is sweet and milky which is pleasant at first but it becomes cloying very quickly. No wonder Mr Creosote exploded after drinking a crate of it. There isn’t a lot to this beer but hey, it’s a classic.
