Bottle shared at CBJ - cheers to Fergus. Pours unclear amber with a creamy, khaki head. Medium sweet flavour, woody, meaty, some floral and piney notes, a little funk. Medium to full bodied, lightly oily, with fine carbonation. Sweet, lightly warming finish. Tasty.

Keg at Kerrera, Guildford. Aroma has dried fruit... figs and molasses. A cloudy/murky dark brown. Foamy beige head retreats to the rim. Luxurious dark fruits and booze. Somewhat sweet with a bitter edge. Medium bodied. Oily. Sticky. Long somewhat astringent and warming finish. Yummer, young man.

Bottle shared by my bro. It pours darkest brown to black with decent khaki head. The aroma is rich and intoxicating, oily, unctuous, great depth of tangy berry, dried fruits, crunchy cherry, toasted fruit cake, jammy, vinous, booze soaked oak, tobacco and chocolate. The taste is slick, oily, bitter - sweet, plenty of fruit, big cherry vibes, cherry cola, strawberry, raisin, sultana, dried cranberry, prickly booze, toffee, touch cacao, vanilla, date, vinous, jammy, fortified wine, booze soaked oak, slight char and touch of tannin with a toasty finish. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and slick mouth feel. Lovely depth of flavour. Nice fruity vibes. Super jammy and vinous.

-1 full point for the irritating wax No head but small, fleeting rim. Muddy dark brown beer. Alcohol, fusels, oranges, winebarrels, sangria left over in a barrel. Again preserved orange in the mouth, ditto strawberry. Alcohol & fuselalcohols. Preserved fruit, blue cheese (I think this ought to be hopped with Sorachi ace!). Alcoholheat, very oily-oozy, alcoholburn. Full bodied & warming, long lasting flavours. Pretty amazing stuff.

Hazy amber, off white head. Aroma is fruity and boozy. Flavour has loads going on. Dried fruit, red wine, a little wood, a dash of smoke, sugar, warming spice, some sweet spirits. And that blend of sweet and warm lasts all throughout. Delicious, rich, warming and far, far too drinkable. Another triumph for Siren's Maiden beers.
