ChrisO ’Night Of The Gaylords’ tasting. Light hazy brown beer. Sourish beer - sweaty feet! Dry! Too much like hard work!
2014 Update. Still sourish, dried fruits. Touch of dust. Still a vague off note. It’s slightly better but still not great.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, over ripe fruits, prunes, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, malt, over ripe fruits, citrusy hops, and a bit of spices, leading to a dry finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours an almost clear deep amber with a small, rough off-white head. Very typical messy Old Ale aroma, tart wood and all sorts of phenols. Medium body, low in carbonation, tart fruit and wood, overripe fruit also. Dry and somewhat tart finish with no real hoppiness. But not too bad really. 010510
