Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours pitch black with a light brown head. Hard roast malt aroma almost tarry. Very solid body, pours almost thick and syrupy, tarry and lightly roasty with a ton of hard roast malt. Some malt bitterness. This is heavy duty shit, a real impressive "classic" and untreated Imperial Stout. 150311

From a 330 ml bottle on 11/3/2011. Pours a slightly cloudy golden colour with a substantial head. Has a very pleasant sweet floral, fruity aroma with that distinctive belgian yeast note. The flavours include sweet citrus fruits (particularly mandarin), sweet belgian malt, spices and a touch of pepper at the end. This is an unusal and refreshing take on a summer ale (the use of the word ’unorthodox’ on the packaging is definitely appropriate), though you’d need to be careful about quaffing more than one, given its well hidden strength. Another fine beer from Murrays.

Pours amber with a large, lasting, creamy white head and lovely lacing.Nose is very fruity, lots of passionfruit, apples and pears. Very sweet smelling. Next some doughy yeast shows through alongside soft spicy phenols. Very nice!Similarly light flavours. And quite sweet (indicative of the use of candi sugar?). Lots of sweet malt, not so much in the way of fruit. Alcohol and high carbonation dries out the finish somewhat. I’m not sure if it’s due to high alpha bittering hops or the alcohol but the finish does feel quite sharp, almost metallic. Mind you, this fades as it warms up.

Bottle. Orange with an inch of white head that fades to a coat. Quite low bead. Aroma of mandarins, light dough, white pepper. There’s fruit in the taste but there’s more spice - some coriander and cloves as well as the pepper - than suggested by the aroma and the dry finish rushes right up. Alcohol is indeed dangerously well-hidden. Deep and meaningful is neither promised nor delivered: it’s just fun.

From a 330ml bottle on 18/1/2011. Pours mahogany with virtually no head. Has a mild aroma of caramel, coffee, roasted malt and a touch of fruit. Flavour wise, there’s lots of dark chocolate, with a good dash of bitterness. A good, solid porter which tastes bigger than 4.5%.

Tap. Clear amber with a dense white head. Harsh hoppy aroma of citrus, window cleaner, a hint of wheat. Thinnish body that doesn’t really suggest wheat. Some caramel and a combination of wheaty and grapefruit sourness. Not really a hop-accented twist on a wheat beer at all - just a hoppy could-be-anything. Unusually crude for a Murray’s beer.
