(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 17 Dec 2007) Dark amber colour with creamy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of berries (raspberries, cowberries) and dried apricots. Malty taste with dark and/or dried fruit, wild berries and apricots. Balanced taste with a smooth and chewy mouthfeel. Slightly sweetish, but with hops to balance. Nice beer.

Bottle. Opaque, dark amber with a very lively off-white head. Aroma of red fruit, spice, yeast and marmalade. Mouth feel was chewy despite a fair bit of carbonation. Flavour of malt, citrus and a whiff of stem ginger with a short bitter finish. Enjoyable.

500ml bottle @ Cardinal. Golden orange/red body with a foamy off/white head. Aroma is malty and oak. Flavor is fruity, malty, bitter and a bit sourish hoppy with a hint of alcohol. Ballanced with a long, dry, bitter finish.

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Bottle conditioned. ABV is 6.0%. Brewed by RCH Brewery, bottled by Integrated Bottling Solutions. Amber coloured beer, huge and lasting off-white head. Pleasant hoppy and fruity aroma, also hints of toffee and oak. The flavour is fruity and malty, with a noticeable alcohol presence. Dry hops in the finish. A powerful extra strong bitter, but no session beer - one bottle is enough.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, dark, amber golden with an off-white, lacing head. Lovely, nutty nose. Medium body with lightly sweet caramel accents and a touch of nuts. The finish is dry and vaguely bitter. 130507

Bottled Herefordshire. Reddy brown coloured, some hops and malt present in the aroma but not too much, malty and pleasantly bitter this was a good if unspectacular ale.

Light honey brown with steady white head (lots of bubbles). Mild floral hoppy nose. Starts hoppied and crisp, but mouthfeel turns to quite sweet. Interesting Brit but not so good.
