Made with live yeast, this is our strongest ale. But it’s also beguilingly sweet, fruity and smooth. Our promise: you’ll live to tell of your encounter with the beast.

Cask at the standing order. Pours amber with a light haze, thin head. Aromas of toffee and candied peel. Taste is sweet, toffee apples. Light sour note. Ok.

Cask gravity at Six Bells Woodchurch. Clear pale brown lasting white head. Sweetish malty aroma. Sweetish in the mouth. Good condition. Surprisingly hoppy on the finish. It’s rather likeable. Lovely

Bottle at the Night of Garbage, big thanks to our host with the most (stairs) LKS, 20/12/13 up a shit load of stairs ! Hazed orange amber with a good sized off white head. Nose is orange, light spice, bready malts, citric leanings. Taste comprises sharp citrus fruit, grass, straw, hint of tropical fruits, bread dough. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying closure. Ok but lacks a little depth for the ABV.

Bottle shared at the Night of Garbage - thanks to the Internet. Pours clear, amber-gold with a creamy white head. The nose holds candied fruits, toasty malts, dry caramel. Medium sweet flavor with dry bread, dried berries, some dirty hay, faint leafy bitterness. Medium bodied with average tonlively carbonation. Sweet finish with grainy, dry bread, some toast, orange, dried berries. Fair play.

Aroma: Burnt malt, dark chocolate and orange.
Appearance: Hazy, dark brown body with a small, bubbly beige head. Decent lacing.
Taste: Rich and malty with hints of orange and plum. Slightly spicy, almost cinnamon-like. Strangely reminiscent of mulled wine. No bitterness in the finish.
Palate: Full bodied with an oily mouthfeel. Soft carbonation.
Overall: Quite a heavy beer, and not particularly moreish.

Cloudy amber - brown beer. Semi dry palate. Strong malt with light toffee caramel streaks. A little fruit slips past the dominant malt in the mid. Finishes soft with mild alcoholic warmth.

Cask at the NWAF, Manchester, 2012. Golden/amber pour with a white head. Not much nose, barley? A bit of fruit in the flavour, not much else. Ho hum.

50cl bottle thanks to Lewis. Pours a hazy amber with a thin white head. The nose has oranges, a some malt. The taste has raisins and cake mixture. The palate has a fairly big structure with a big middle section and a long finish. Overall, this grew on me. It’s pretty big, but still quite a good finish for a strong beer.

Vackert orangebrun och lätt grumlig, med högt skum som snart lägger sig. Lite överaskande estrig, fruktig doft av körsbär, päron, säd och jäst. Smaken känns tyvärr något infekterad. Syrlig beska, sötsyrlig smakbild och förvånande liten genomslag av alkoholen. Kan inte avgöra om den ska vara så här eller om jag fått en dålig flaska, men i det här skicket var den inte jättegod.
