Lovely orange-accented mahogany colour. The aroma is fruity (grape, plum) with caramel and wood accents. The palate is rich, complex caramel and earth with bitter hop notes emerging late with toffeeish stickiness and some subtle, fruity acidity. A tasty fireside ale.

500ml bottle. Pours a dark amber with a nice large head. Aroma is toffee and some dried fruit. Fruity, malty, lots of fruit cake and spice. Full in the mouth, medium bitter finish, hides its strength. A favourite of mine, one I drink semi-regularly, just never got round to rating.

Bottle. Ruby brown pour with a decent off white fluffy head. Fruity, malty aroma. Tastes malty, fruity, hoppy, caramel. Really complex and tasty. Nothing like a Belgian Triple, very English actually. Nice stuff.

Half-decent aroma of something citrusy, I’d wager to say coriander but it smells more like a cleaning-product-slash-perfume, some breadiness in there too. Appearance is allright, a clear amber colour. The taste is a warm barley, some sweetness, a bit of caramel and a dry finish. Not a bad brew at all.

bottle, pours light amber with a thin tan head. Light carmel apple and hop nose. Flavor is nice and mellow with clean malty body that fades into a noticable cascade bite with some crisp mouthfeel. Very good.

ambrata buona schiuma piuttosto persitente al naso prima luppoli invitante un po agrumati poi la nota maltata ed leggermente etilica in bocca buon abuilanciamento tra malto e luppolo dissreto corpo ma la nota etilica nasconde un po l’armonia
