Ingredients: Maris Otter, Crystal and Black malts; Northdown hops plus Cascade at the end of the boil.
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.

Bottle shared at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Dark amber color with a bit of white foam. Aroma of malt, caramel, honey hints, some fruitiness, light earthy hops notes, floral hints and some alcohol. Flavor starts sweet and fruity with malt and caramel, and finishes dry, pretty bitter and somewhat earthy. Medium-bodied. OK.

Crosse Keys Spoons. Clear amber beer, small cream coloured head. Smooth dry palate. Mild toffee malt. A little spice. Pleasant dried fruits. Apricot and orange. Develops bitterness to join the mild spice in the semi dry finish. Allright.

One year old. Dark golden amber colour. Light beige large frothy head. Typical english bitter aromas of sweet caramel and bread malt. Biscuit. Hints of alcohol, hops and licorice. Flavours of brady sweet malt, but with a heavy dose of alcohol. Medium nice bitterness. Round and rich in mouth. Oily to watery mouthfeel. I was recommended to save this beer for christmas, but I got dissapointed and this didn�t feel much like a chrismas beer. It just felt like a bitter with more alcohol.

Bottle. Lovely clear amber, appears still beneath a 1 cm light beige head. Aroma of plums, raisins, toffee, sweet-shop spices. Rich and sweet with fruity toffee, a pronounced bitterness from the start that’s spicy and a little piney at the finish. Alcohol and hops a bit too prominent at the moment - number on bottle says this was brewed this February - might well like this better in a year or so, but it’s pretty good now.

Bottle at home with Lyoli in London. Pours a clear, rich ruby with a soft, foamy, off-white head. Sugary malt aroma, with a healthy dose of ripe fruits and subtle alcohol. Sweet flavor, has a nice caramel character, some grape and raisin, bit of cake and rich bread, slight herbal character, some brown sugar. Medium bodied with average to lively carbonation. Fairly warming finish, more ripe fruit sugars, toffee and caramel, slight grass, sweet bread. Solid beer.

Bottle: Almost clear, chestnut-amber coloured, smaller creamy off-white head; raisins, butterscotch, nuts, caramel and exotic fruits in the nose, a trace of brandy detectable; solid sweet-bitter flavour, full bodied; lingering - first fruity and nutty, later drying out hoppily - finish. Very fine stuff.......

(bottle, # 1059046) Slightly unclear, dark amber colour with a short, slightly tanned foamy head. Sweet and hearty cara-malty aroma with notes of biscuits, plum pudding, raisins, citrus and a tinge of Brandy. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a calm carbonation. Rich malt-character with caramel, butterscotch, nutty notes and liquorice; late arriving fruity and slightly woody hops towards the lingering and warming finish. Very complex and pleasant. 06.IV.11
