2008 Vintage as 1890 Stock Ale, from Citry Beverage Co, London. It pours clear orange, with a medium white head. The nose is sherry, white grape, fruit cake, tinned nectarine, icing sugar and candy cane. The taste is nectarine, tangerine, tinned peach, tangy fruit, candied peel, alcohol warmth, sherry and wood, with a dry finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and sticky mouth-feel. Too boozy for me. Doesn’t quite have the body to carry it off.

Bottled (2007)@The Chriso Pre-GBBF Shindig 2011 "Donkey Dork Lord Edition". Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, caramel, earth and some slight yeasty and mild wooden notes. Flavour is quite much the same. Rather mellow. Hayish in the finish. Mild alcohol sweetness lurking as well.

25th November 2007 Fairly flat orangey looking pale beer. Distinctly sweet and fruity start gives way to malt and a slighty bitter finish with noticeable alcohol. 3.5 19th November 2017 A nine or ten year old bottle from the deepest cellar recesses! Almost clear gold - amber, no head. Smooth palate, no carbonation to speak of. Smooth sweetish malts, light dried fruits. Fine cognac, light though. Trace of sherry. Smooth finish. Has aged very well. Very sippable.
5th August 2023
Another slice of the 2007 vintage. Don't think this has swerved much from 6 years ago. Cognac, sherry a little dried fruits. Completely flat but sipping well.

Bottle from Mr Lawrence Wine Merchants, Brockley. Pours a cloudy amber colour with no head whatsoever. Seems a bit flat if truth be told. Aromas of sour cherries, tangerines, barley, grapefruit. Quite a sour/fruity nose. Flavours of toffee, citrus, slight sourness, vinous, ginger, some herbs. Moderate alcohol burn. Finishes malty and sweet with a warming alcohol feel. Not too bad.
