Well stored bottle. Unclear dark amber body with a fine tan head. Aroma has malt, toffee, dry fruit and mild alcohol (surprisingly mild for a 11,5 % ABV). Taste is smooth and sweet with rich malt, dry fruit, toffee, wood, vinous and slightly spicy. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste with a warming alcoholic ending. Very nice sipper.

330ml bottle from Mitchells Wine Shop - Fucking Hell. Murky brown body, ugly with no head. Figgy pudding nose, big boozy Christmas pudding taste. Burning alcohol warmth. Dangerously strong, easy drinking.

Draft. A hazy amber beer with a thin yellowish head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, caramel, dried fruits, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, wood, dried fruits, and caramel, leading to a dry woody finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a cloudy, murky orangey brown with a small, beige head. Nose is sweet, caramel and toffee - a little booze showing. Rich, sweet body. Caramel and sherry, some positive oxidation and barrel notes. Very old-school British in style. Lovely. 270420

A light haze on this amber beer, small pale tan head. Smooth and slightly viscous palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth malts, cream and caramel and bitterish toffee, quite a distinct savoury vibe, if you told me that salted caramel was an addition here, I’d have believed you instantly. Touch of sweet cinnamon and other spices, liberal black pepper. And I promise never to use that cursed word again in a rating. Oaky ripe fruits and dried fruits. Whisper of vanilla oak. Smooth finish. Comes together well, a big rich ripe semi sweet fruity affair.

0,33 flaske fra det statlige helsekostutsalg rett sør for byen, utskjenket hjemme 4. juledag mens duften av pinnekjøtt pirrer nesegrevet: mørk rødlig mahogny med fint skum som varer. Mmm, et portvinsvinøst anslag både i aroma og smak, og flere gleder står i kø: whiskymarinerte svisker og rosiner, vanilje, eik, mørke dessertchokolader, brente mandler og mere til. Den solide maltkroppen presenterer det hele på en sammenhengende måte. En saliggjørende julemedisin som bør bli tilgjengelig (uten resept) til helårsbruk.
