A beer conceived by Head Brewer Jeremy Moss, to celebrate the return of Brakspear brewing to Oxfordshire. This is a triple fermented, triple hopped strong beer, packaged in individually numbered bottles.
With its high alcohol content and bottle conditioning, this is a beer that will go on to develop further complexity as it matures in its bottle.

500ml bottle - Deep amber body, slight off white head, soon goes. Nose is bananas, molasses, caramel and fruits. Taste is lovely and warming, more alcohol noticeable than in the little 6.7% bottles, and with a great velvety mouthfeel. Decent.

Had this on tap at the Crosse Keys Spoonies. It was alright. Poured amber with a foamy, off-white head. Lots of bready malts, some toffee, subtle ripening fruits. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, further sugary bread, fruits, mild yeast. Decent.

Jag är i grunden skatisk till brittisk öl över 5%. Kopparfärgad, gräddigt skum. Stor alkoholdoft med tvåliga, blommiga och fruktiga aromer. Drag av belgisk trippel. Alkoholen slår igenom väldigt mycket även i smaken. När man vant sig vid det kommer en massa smaker fram. Fruktkompott, estriga fenoler som jag förknippar med belgisk öl, apelsinskal och apelsinsaft, jäst, liten men distinkt beska, måttlig sötma. Skulle nog fåttt stå ett par år men ändå helt okej. Svår att betygsätta.
