(on tap) Dark mahogany with white head. Aroma of dark toffee and chocolate hints. Medium body, light carbonation. Flavour balances dark toffee with gentle crisp hoppiness with a nice somewhat bitter finish. Overall a nice and rather unusual beer.

Brown 50cl bottle of cold-sterile filtered (not pasteurised) ale, best before 18 June 2011. Brought back from the Isle of Wight by a work mate. Drank and reviewed on 7 Jan 2011. Poured slowly into an ’Abbot Ale’ glass tankard. Looked great, a clear body of shining light ruby red, on top a thin white foaming head. Malts dominate the smell, semi-sweet molasses and freshly baked biscuits. The taste follows the aroma but with a wicked hoppy bite within the malty flavour. Well balanced and full of flavour, wish I’d been given more than just this bottle. Recommended to have with barbequed meats and hearty casseroles: I reviewed it with variuos cheeses and dry biscuits, it went great with Emmentaler and Goats Cheese. Not so sure about the soft Garli though (or the Olives). Really impressed.

Bottle courtesy of shubber85. Light amber with a small white head. Sweet malty aroma with a faint hint of spice... almost like cinnamon. Slightly sweet biscuity malt and a light herbal hops finish. Light bodied.
