Chromate yellow, chill haze; no head. Bit of glue, gassy nose and some pale malts. Slightly toasted notes in the taste above the pale malts, cereals and pineapple-ish retronasal - or is that the contrast with the other beers in this area? Slightly burning MF, but especially very fizzy, oversaturated feel. Strange - another one I don’t dig the intention of. IMO useless, but I seem to be in a minority (WBC medal winner...)

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Vintage 1999. Very unclear amber golden with a small, off-white head. Malty, caramelish aroma. Full-bodied with lots of caramel and some delicate sherry like accents. Very subdued bitterness. Lovely. Tasted at the Oklahoma Beer tasting March 06 hosted by mjames and lilannie. 240306

Black color with a creamy white head. Sweet chocolate and toffee aroma with hints of roasted malts. Sweet caramel and toffee flavors with some light astringency. Thanks to CaptainCougar for sending this to Richmond.

Pour is a bright orange wiith a small white head. Aroma is a nice floral hop. Flavor is more of the same, nice hop taste with a malty backbone. Very sliky and heavy body makes this a above par ESB. Very drinkable and tasty.

A 1999 bottle, sampled 2006. Some pleasing oxidation apparent in the nose, a little sherry and cardboard. Smooth and caramelly flavor. Earthy and rustic finish. Surprisingly nice and mellow, easy drinking. Age has done this one well. Some fig starts to show as I get into it. Nice clearish dark amber colo, nice lacing.

(On tap) Slightly hazy amber with a creamy, off-white head leaving some very smooth and delicate laces. Nose full of caramel and some aroma hops. Medium body with lots of fruit - some great peachy accents in particular. Hoppy - but not overly so - finish. Simple and very drinkable IPA. 210306

Clear, near-orange beer with medium off-white head, sligthly irregular. Unbelievable initial nose of organic decay or manure; then thankfully hops kick in, but the shock keeps simmering. Dry hopstaste, but with a fruity streak. Difficult to say what - oranges and kumquats with a dose of water and a pinch of maltsugar? Maybe a bit of nectarine as well. And hops, of course. Retronasal, however, there’s again something odd, vegetable-like or greenery. Old cut flowers’ water? I’m actually suspecting yeast autolysis... Rather light MF, not much body. OK IPA, a bit thin, overall. Plenty of better (and less shocking) samples around. Thanks to D.A.!

Bottle Pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Thin but persistant lacing. Light grains and slight Belgian yeaty aroma. Flavor was bland and of cooked vegetables. The attempt at the Belgian yeat flavor was subdued and generally plain and unimpressive. Lively carbonation and a cereal flavor finish.

Dark brown colour. The aroma is complex but indistinct. Whole grain bread leads the way in the nose but I’m struggling to pick out much of anything else. Molasses notes are at the fore of a sweet, nutty body that features leathery accents and sugar-laden gas station coffee. Roast and hop bitterness are minimal, making this more of a porter (a style in which molasses is more at home anyway).

Bright golden-amber colour. Malty aroma with nutty, toffeeish notes. Somewhat thin body with light brown sugar notes and faint nutty, toffeeish nuances. A light and painless holiday beer.
