500ml bottle [bottle no. 2014597]. Clear dark red with small frothy collapsing off-wite head, leaving a thin layer. Sweet caramel malty aroma, toffee, a minimal touch of orange. Flat monotonous malty taste with an unpleasant bitter note like bitter almond or even chicory; dry finish with a touch of orange zest.

Bottle number A265810, best before 14th Jan 2009, drank late Nov 2008. Poured into a straight pint sleeve, no sediment left the bottle (that I noticed anyway). Deep amber, mahogany reddy brown, clear and clean looking, off-white head sat on top. The aroma was of hops, yeast and toffee/sweet molasses. The taste is a sweetish, rich malty flavour. Real fires without the smoke also comes to mind as you sip this very pleasant beer. Old leather armchairs, Gentlemens clubs and money, that is what this beer reminds me of. I can imagine warm lounges, smoking jackets and cigars when drinking this. A very good beer, the 7.2% is well hidden and balanced nicely. A beer for people who like the better things in life.

En riktigt trevlig engelsk öl. Smak och doft av parfym, malt, bränt socker, honung, sirap, humle, torkad frukt. Fyllig och med en trevlig beska, en aning söt men helheten är fin.

500 ml bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Pours clear dark copper reddish brown with a rather small frothy and bubbly off-white head that leaves some lacing on the glass while dissipating. Smell is very sweet with ripe pears, caramel, glue, alcohol, plums, dark bread, golden syrup, honey, green apples, raisins and hints of grass and metal. Taste is sweet and slightly metallic with dark bread, pears, apples, raisins, plums, burnt caramel, wood, vanilla, toffee, grass and hints of orange peal. Mouthfeel is tiny watery, slightly round, tiny boozy and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with dark bread, honey, pears, grass and orange peal. Not really my favorite style of beer but found it to be quite alright.

Bottle, small creamy head, quite clear deep red colour with rusty taints, spounge cake aroma with vanila, dark fruits, and some herbal and citrus hints, dominant malty flavours of jam and caramel balanced by a strong white fruit sourness and an empathic and quite strong bitterness, alcohol showing in the back adding a light coarse sensation but dissapearing as the beer warms up, aftertaste is fruity sour and extemely long. Nicely balanced and highly enjoyable.

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.

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.
