A rich smooth ruby red strong ale mingled with a variety of complex flavours thanks to an unusual blend of classic hops.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A clear, dark amber beer with a small, off-white head. The aroma is bready and hoppy, with pine cones and grass. Some alcohol notes and a touch of blackcurrant and dried fruits. It’s full-bodied and too carbonated on the palate. Dry. The flavor has caramel, bread, some dark berries, bitterness and a piney hop flavor. Lasting finish. Overall, a decent one, but nothing more. 110318

50cl bottle from the Hop Back Brewery shop. Reddish gold with a fading white head; earthy malt aroma; lightly bodied with red fruit flavours, some toffee and roasted malts; the finish is clean with some grassy hops. Rather bland and ordinary.

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 27 Nov 2010) Dark ruby colour with brief, foamy, off-white head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, dried fruit and nuts. Malty, fruity taste with dark bread, nuts, dried fruit, raisins and a mild, spicy bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Nice one.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 09. Chestnut colour, lasting bubbly head. Toffee caramel on aroma. Some earthiness on finish. It’s alright, some decent fruity malt. Toffee is pleasing. Just a bit bettern than average.

Bottle. A deep red beer with a slight hazy under a bubbly tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of berries and fruit. The flavor is sweet with a strong note of toffee, combined with notes of fruits and berries - a mixture of red and blue berries from the forrest. The end is dry with a slight note of wood, and a short bitterness.
