16/10/2022. Bottle from Dan Murphy’s. Pours clear deep copper chestnut brown with a small bubbly/frothy beige head. Aroma of toffee, dried fruits, bread, nut, plum, sourdough, light woody spicy notes. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness with a slightly sour edge. Moderate body, a bit watery, prickly carbonation. Aroma is nice but not especially keen.

Tap at the brewery. Poured a murky medium brown colour with a lasting frothy off white head. The aroma is grainy malt, nutty, earthy, light red berry fruits. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter, with a smooth, gritty, fruity, warm, dry woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Smooth, rich and nicely balanced. A good example of the style.

330ml bottle into glass. Toffee roast caramel chocolate alcohol on the nose. Dark red colour (prune juice?). HUGE frothy tan head. Looks a bit mad. Tastes sweetish with a subtle clean hop finish. Really well balanced.

There are notes of toffee biscuit, mulled wine, coffee and chocolate with a little late resin and some alcohol. There’s more coffee, chocolate, toffee and alcohol in the mouth. In both the aroma and taste there’s also a hint of shellfish and seawater, which is a bit odd but nevertheless, I really like this beer.

ChrisO ’Night Of The Gaylords’ tasting. Hazy dark brown beer. Some light malt on the nose. Light dry and softish palate. Tired malt with mild toffee. Finishes soft and dry. Okay but a bit dull.

Pours dark copper with a small head.Nose shows earthy peat, cinnamon, soft alcohol, caramelised malt and creamy chocolate. Pretty complex!More the same regarding flavours, but with more roasted malt present as well. Not quite as complex, and there’s a floury flavour I find in several of the Red Hill beers.Carbonation is too high.

Bottle@The Chriso Gaylord Tasting. Amber colour, beige head. Aroma is wood, herbs and some slight toffeeish and grassy notes as well. Flavour is toffee, wood, grass and some slight herbal notes. Quite bitter finish, but otherwise not very exciting.

[1/10] Tap at brewery. Brown, beige head. Mild caramel and grass nose, hints of vanilla and prunes. Caramel sweetness with some burnt touches. Thick body for the alcohol content. Not really my sort of thing, but pleasant enough. [2.8] [10/16] Coming around to this a little after a few tries. But only a little. Much as before with firm peppery bitterness at the end.
