Harvest Time from Hermitage (Marshalls)
10 years ago
7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. A slightly hazy, golden amber pour with a thick cream head; caramel aroma with a touch of dusty hops; smooth with a satisfying weight and a malty taste with some apple and nuts; and a crisp zingy bitterness to follow - like biting in to a green skinned apple - but ending up with a smooth caramel finish. A rather good harvest ale.

Cask at the 22nd Egham Beer Festival. Dark mahogany with a loose cream head; aroma of wet woolen socks - unusual, but not unpleasant; thin in the mouth with some sweet dark malts and caramel; then a weak herbal bitterness to finish. An OK mild in need of a touch of spice.

Bottle thanks to Dan. It pours cloudy deep brown with a thick beige head. The nose is earthy, musty, big fruit cake character, raisin, sultana and glace cherry. The taste is toasty, earthy, brown bread, fruit cake, toast, raisin, wood, leather, varnish and dull alcohol. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. It ain’t too bad at all.

Bottle shared at a CBC Clerkenwell tasting - London. Thanks to Daniel for this one (I think!). Pours lightly hazy deep gold with a frothy head. The nose holds some citrus, grainy toast. Medium sweet flavor with some rindy citrus, more toasty bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with further toasted grains, mild bitterness, mellow citrus. OK overall.

50cl bottle from Cold Ash Post Office, Newbury. A deep amber colour with a thick cream head, slightly hazy despite a careful pour; caramel malt aroma; fruity malt taste, with the sweetness of the malts just balanced by the hops to give a biscuity finish with a touch of spice, which gives some warmth to the finish. Not particularly peaty, but a pleasant heavy ale.
