Not a session beer this one. One to be savoured sitting by a roaring log fire. Aroma of Chestnuts, intriguing Chestnut flavours and rather Chestnutty in colour. Which is as it should be, as it is brewed with organic Chestnuts from the farm of Patrice Duplan in the Ardeche region of France. Normally available throughout the winter months but available throughout the year in bottles.

Bottle. Almost clear copper/brown liquid with small to medium light brown head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, toast, earth, bread and dried fruit. Taste is light sweet and light bitter with notes of toast, caramel, bread and dried fruit. Light to medium bodied with high carbonation. Quite nice, but the carbonation is quite disturbing.

Cask, handpump at The Cask & Kitchen, Pimlico, London, 29.12.10 Pours brown with a touch of filmy off-white head. This is a little shallow and empty at first in the mouth but after a while the flavours start to flood through, it’s definatly nutty, sweet and bitter but with some old fashioned qualities that are a little hard to describe. Nice beer but up against an even better one in the Salopian Requiem. A6 A3 T7 P3 Ov14 3.3

50 cl bottle bought in Hartney Wintney. Well I guess you have to call the colour chestnut! - there’s a thin off-white head and some soft carbonation; the aroma is earthy with perhaps a trace of chestnut; it’s soft and smooth in the mouth with some dry malts and demarara sugar, and again a hint of nuts. This is a really smooth and drinkable brew.

(Bottle, 7 Aug 2010. Thanks to SaintMatty) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, nutty nose with notes of chestnut and dark fruit. Malty, nutty taste with chestnut, dark fruit and caramel. More than medium body, rather sweet, with a mild bitterness. The chestnut character gets a bit overwhelming after a while but it’s a tasty and nice beer.

Cask Stillage (Bitter Virtue, Southampton) - Brown in colour. Spicy malt aroma with some nutty hints. Roasted malt taste with some strong nutty (chestnut) elements being noticeable. The finish is roasted with a nutty sweetness. Very tasty and an excellent idea. Also, Cask (Guide Dog, Southampton) - Much the same as before but with the roasted notes being slightly more pronounced and just a hint of vanilla sweetness. I did not try this beer last year (when it first came out) but the recipe has supposedly been modified and the quality has allegedly improved.
