Bottle at home in London - sourced from Kris Wines. Pours clear copper-ruby with a creamy, off-white head. The aroma has some dried berries, leather, crusty bread, faint pine. Medium sweet flavour with some creamy toffee, ripening berries, more bready malts. Medium to full bodied, creamy, with fine carbonation. Sweet, sticky and lightly warming on the finish, with more gooey toffee, ripe berries, bready male. Drinks pretty good for the ABV.

Bottle at home. 2012 vintage. Pours hazy dark orange with small, off white head. Yeasty, lightly boozy caramel aroma and taste with some sweet red fruit notes. Quite one dimensional and overly sweet.

Draught @ YNWA, Kolding. Pours amber with a small offwhite head. Aroma of malt, yeast, caramel, sweet fruit, wood, berries. Flavor is rather sweet, malty, caramel, wood, fruit, berries, alcohol. Medium body, lively carbonation that dont fit with the beer that well, sweet finish with quite some alcohol. Not that balanced. 110915

from a 330ml bottle on 5/1/2015. Pours a murky reddy brown with the brest of heads. Has a nice strong sweet toffee malt aroma. Take a sip and you get more sweet toffee, caramel, golden syrup, as well as some tart fruity booziness, finishing with a medium dry lingering bitterness. The palate is a little oily and the carbonation soft. Does present more as a barley wine than a red ale, but regardless, it’s a very pleasant and moreish sipper. I’m quite surprised this is not rated more highly on here.
