Winter 2017 seasonal. Deep, intense caramel malt flavours are cut beautifully with lots of hops, which bring a spiced orange feel to proceedings.

Bottle @ home. Hazy dark amber color, average sized off-white to beige head that diminishes fairly quickly but leaves fair lacing. Aroma is malts, a bit sweaty, old hops. Tastes about the same: malts, unfortunately old hops and a bit sweaty, a bit stale and even a hint of fruitpeel tart that -I’m quite sure- shouldn’t be in there. Not good at all, I need to re-rate this when fresh.

Bottle from Bradleys, Cork [160416]
Copper red, clear, frothy off white head, good lacing
Aroma of sweet toffee caramel, dab of red fruits, bit buttery caramel
Taste of caramel malts, crystal malts, toffee, grassy hops, citrus zest, lots of hops, dense flavour - but not all that keen on it tbh
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, strong bitter hops offset by rich sweet caramel, no alcohol. Finish of grassy and zest hops, lots of caramel
Overall - Seems over stuffed to me - it’s OK but not me

Keg at BD CJ. It pours hazy deep red with a small beige head. The aroma is earthy, bitter - sweet, caramel, red fruits, candy and wood. The taste is crisp, earth, toasted grain, wood, leather, citrus peel and dirt with a lingering dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Medium body and fine carbonation. Ok.

At a tasting, thanks, small creamy bubbly head, cloudy deep rusty red color, aroma of citrus and bread, bready flavor with a strong herbal bitterness and a light pleasant sweetness. Nice and drinkable.

Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles’s place. Thanks Tom L. Deep red color with a beige head. Nice hoppy aroma with tropical fruits, pine, some malt. Sweetish flavor with malt, a bit of caramel, toast, and nice fruity hops. Medium-bodied.
