180 ml bottle sampled in 2009. Deep golden body with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malt, honey and warming alcohol. Flavor is sweet malt, honey, sugar and alcohol. Fine body with a sweet and alcoholic aftertaste. It’s a nice beer and actually tastes better than it seems from this description. Balanced sweet alcoholic.

Hazy brown beer. Short lived white head. Dry palate. Rich malt, spicy. Bitterish toffee and subtle but tart orange fruit. A little brandy in the finish. No the smoothest but a no-nonsense barleywine.

25cl bottle, courtesy of and shared with Gnoff. Ambrée, col blanc soyeux. Arôme de caramel, malt, sucré avec note de pomme. Reste caramélisé en bouche, fin houblon, sucre brun avec qcq fruits noirs, riaisns et vineux avec un peu de résine. Un peu décevante.

Bottle. Poured golden brown with a medium light brown head. Aroma was full of caramel, toffee, raisins with a bit of vanilla lying underneath. Flavor was sweet throughout and thick on the tongue.

Courtesy of madmitch76. The 6oz bottle pours crystal clear copper with gold edges and thin off white head. The aroma is full bringing up a rich combination of sweet caramel candy and dark fruity esters like dates, prunes, boysenberries and figs. Each draw ends with a touch of alcohol heat. Smells yum! The taste is very similar with a medium body ushering in rich caramel goodness mixing with dark fruity esters. It dries out a bit to midway with a touch of roasted malts and fading caramel and sweet dark fruity esters. It ends with lingering sweet caramel, prunes, dates and ripe cherries. Nice stuff.

Bottled (CK, BB 07/2009). Clear amber color, small white head. Strong syrupy aroma of honey and vanilla, also loads of not so pleasant fruity alcohol. Full bodied, quite flat carbonation. Sweet grainy flavor: green apples, honey, some vanilla. Not really complex. Simple alcohol bomber but still kind of ok slow beer.

Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Poured a clear amber colour with a thin off white head. Seriously floral and sweet aroma...honey, bubble gum, syrup and malt. Niice. Flavour was sweet malt with a hint of fruit and spices. Soothing and warming. Lingering and multi layered finish, that was once more sweet, fruity and slightly dry. Good things do sometimes come in small packages.

Bottled (from Cracked Kettle). Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is quite fruity, alcoholic and also has some biscuity notes. Flavour is smooth fruits, some wood as well as alcohol. Not really a complex brew, but indeed very balanced and drinkable.
