Bottled (thanks fonefan!). Amber colour, small head. Aroma is earthcelllar, sour wood, mild alcohol, grassy and some mild oxidation. Flavour is sweetish sour stuff, some grass and mild alcohol. Yet alcohol isn’t stinging. This is oxidation/aging gone the wrong way. A moe sweet oxidation would have done good for this...

Bottled 330ml
Deep orange color, not much head. Some cellar, maltyness in the nose. Full-bodied. Soft palate. Herbal, hoppy, fruity (rainsins), cellary, grassy flavor with backing alcohol. American hops are there. Has not gained with age but got too much air.

Bottle that I picked up from Bellingers Garage, Grove, near Wantage, Oxon, consumed 02-06-09 Pours a muddy puddle brown with off-white head. Aroma is alcohol, old leather and some rich dark fruit pudding. Taste is initially a little harsh from the alcohol, its very rich, there is a bitterness there and a strange slight dustiness about things, quite fruity as well. I’ve got to be honest this isn’t really my thing and I couldn’t finish it, I think that it’s a little rough around the edges, maybe with a bit of age on it, it might mellow out a little.

Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. Murky dark orange colour with an off white head that became....headless. Fragrant, sweet malt, thick cut marmalade, grassy hop aroma. Niiiice. Flavour was sweet cherry, yeast, booze, then bitter. Dug it.

Bottle from Pig’s Ear Festival, London
Cloudy amber color; creamy head. Medium sweet caramel aroma, with a milky edge, light fruitness and yeast, soapy maybe. Medium sweet caramel flavor, with a touch of unpleasant vegetables, but the rest is good, with a good bitterness too; light nutty touch; it has some rough and yeasty character found usually in Cask Ales; strong ending bitterness. Quite good, but not exciting, even if the glass keeps getting interesting as I drink it…

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a very hazy amber golden with tiny, floating impurities and an off-white head. Aroma of fruit and yeast. Quite full-bodied with fruit and caramel with a distinct, bitter finish. 031008

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet matly with notes of caramel and citrus. The flavor is sweet matly with notes of citrus, as well as a light alcohol note, that burns in the throat. The finish is bitter. Thanks fonefan and Brugmansia for sharing.
