Dark ruby red, with an orangey fruity malt character. The spicy, resinous, lemony Goldings absolutely sing through the beer combining beautifully with the malt, and the bitterness is powerful and lasting, punching through the residual sweetness.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Clear mahogany colour, small head. Woody, bready nose with dark berries. Mid sweet with medium to full body and well rounded mouthfeel. Dark bread, mikd leaves and notes of prunes. Long balanced bitter finish.

500ml bottle at home. From Alko ( IIRC).
Poured deep mahogany in color, whitish head, some hue.
Nutty, some caramel, toasted malts, minerals, dryness. Complex and tasty. Nice to get to try this historical style/Burton style.

Bottle, 7.2%. A beautiful, dark reddish brown beer, a head is medium and beige. Aroma has dried apricots, caramel in the body. Taste has grain in the body with some roastiness and caramel, nicely strong and herbal bitterness, even hint of liquorice in the end. Medium bodied. This is very good beer and somehow cheeky enough.
