Bottled(500ml). -courtesy of and shared with doggythedog, thanks.
Nice clear amber coloured, minimal head, few streams of carbonation. Bitterish herbal hop aroma with notes of caramel, but a bit too watery.

0.5l bottle brought from England by a friend (thanks Ivana!)Dark amber colour, small off white head that collapsed quickly but left some traces for quite a while. The nose is nice... caramel, somewhat fruity and nutty, some fresh herbal hopiness. Staleish, empty taste, citric acididity and some bitterness, from hops I guess, muddy maltiness, vaguely nutty and fruity. Guarana? Erm, where? Faint but long hoppy aftertaste. Looks nice, smells nice, but the taste is just too weak and dull.

Hazy yellow with a lasting white head leaving some lace. Citrus, grapefruit, apricot and grass aroma along with some pale malt notes. Sweet and full bodied fruity flavour with loads of nice fruity and grassy hops, and a nice bitter finish

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a huge orange head. The aroma has notes of citrus, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, leading to a dry dusty finish.

Cask gravity at Nottingham BF 2007. Black with dark brown edges. Lasting beige head. Easy drinking dark beer with some roastiness. Decent simple, but very drinkable.

Bottle. Golden coloured with a dense white head. Flavour of vanilla with some clove, cinnamon and lemon - a bit too much going on. Light mouthfeel, with some citrus flavour. Ok.
