500ml bottle from Tuckers Maltings. Pours clear red-brown with a thin white head. Aromas of toffee, caramel, faint herbs. Taste is nutty, light bitter, burnt toffee. Finish is a bit thin for the strength.

Hazy amber beer, small cream coloured head. Crispy and dry palate. A little brandyish alcohol. Mild dried fruits. Trace of caramel. Dry alcohol finish but no real alcohol heat. Not terrible but lacks finesse.

500ml bottle from Brewery this time last year (seems my original rating disappeared) - Hazy russett pour, lots of head, little bit of floating sediment which settles. Very grapey boozy nose, similar to a cognac without the harshness. Rich ripe body, long warm aftertaste. Great.

Bottled@Chriso. Amber colour, big white head. Aroma is fruity and floral with some grassy notes. Flavour is bready, fruity, floral and some mild dry wooden and herbal notes. Pleasant. Hides the ABV very well.

The brewery produce a beer called ’half bore’: this is twice the strenght! The beer is supposed to be served cool, so as I’ve only just plonked it down from my beer fridge I’ll write a bit more to allow it to change from a bit cold to cool. The label claims Goldings and Boadicea hops are used, the Boadicea being a late addition to give its ’high Alpha content’ a chance to make the beer have a smooth bitter finish. Hold on there is also local Devon Honey and Golden Syrup in the brew, so it might be a bit sweet as well? OK, time to crack open the bottle. This is a bottle conditioned beer, so I poured it carefully into my Abbots Ale glass tankard so as not to disturb any sediment. The beer poured a beautiful, clear, chestnut red, bright and shiny: on top a majestic crown of white foam, the head stayed and provided a lacing as heavy and thick as I’ve ever witnessed. The aromas where of un-sweetened molasses and yeast, some pine hop esters along with an alcoholic presence that is hard to explain but is clearly there with some beers. Not the nasty super lager alcohol over-hit, this seemed classier and more controlled if you can follow my thoughts. The taste is malts all the way: until the mouth begins to dry, then a hop bitterness arrives. Even during the bitterness stages of each sip a hint of sweetness (the honey and syrup) is never far away and the alcohol content doesn’t hide a great deal either. I really liked the beer, a little too much alcohol for the flavours maybe, but I’m being unkind, this is a great winters brew: A roaring fire and a few mates, this beer would go down a treat: as it did tonight as I drank it alone!

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a huge beige head. The aroma has notes of citrusy hops and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and straw, leading to a dry finish. The body is light - must have a low final gravity.
