Available each winter from the first of November until it runs out, Isolation ale is amber in color, malty and strong. We consider it a traditional winter warmer, without the addition of fruits or spices.

Bottle: The pour is absolutely gorgeous… deep amber and a thick, creamy tan head. Nice sheet lacing. At first, I thought it smelt like sawdust, but it passed. Deep toffee, woody, earthy, and nutty bits. Rich and inviting. Taste is a little more on the earthy side, some florals and wood. Lightly metallic. Loses a bit from the nose. Lighter in body, which is ok, but the flavor doesn’t stick.

Bottle thanks to Kevin. Pours a clear amber with small frothy white head that leaves spotty lacing. The aroma is raisin and bready malt. Medium mouthfeel with light bready malt and lingering dry finish. Good.

A reddish copper ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with corky character, floral hops. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with grassy floral hops, more British, treacle,, OK. On tap at Filmbar.

Bottle pours a slightly hazy deep amber with a dense, think and lasting pillowy sandy head. Noble hops and slightly toffee malt aroma. Rich malty flavor, some bittering hops but not the west coast american variety. A little metallic touch, but a beer that tastes bigger than it is.

Hazy dark amber beer. Tiny off white head. Semi dry and semi crisp palate. Usual Odell fine balance. Light malt - a touch creamy. Mild orange hop. Nice carbonated sting in the tail. It’s decent, well brewed and well balanced. And a shade dull.
