Bottle, 9.1%. Very vinous aroma and quite sweet. Quite cloudy dark red colour. The flavour is quite vinous with some alcohol and bitterness. Quite flavourful, but still a bit rough, even though it is a year past BB date. 7 3 7 3 17

27.5 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown to orange and with a creamy light off-white head. Dense malt, fruity an slight earthy aroma. Flavour starts dried fruity and stays rather dry. Light roasted malt note and mild liqourice touch. Mild spiced note too. Gains a lot of alcohol presence towards the finish. Ends dry and slight alcohol burning.

Cask handpull at Wetherspoons, Folkestone. Coming to the end of the barrel apparently. Reddy brown with beige head. Relatively fruity aroma, some brown sugar flavour in mouth. Fruity, sweetish bitter. Faint tingly hop on end. Malts are nice and so is the fullish mouthfeel.

Hazy red-brown color with a rather thin creamy cap. Fruity aroma, apples, but also strangely perfumy. It falls more in the English Strong Ale category: medium body strength, dominant caramel flavor, very warming alcohol feeling (almost burning), quite strong hopping. It’s not bad, but it turns too much into a booze-thing than a barley brew.

Bottled, thanks Papsoe! Dark reddish amber, near no head. The nose is arousingly vinous, but gradually turns to paper and caramel. Sweet and medium bodied with clean, slim mouthfeel. A bit boozy with notes of paper. Peppery finish.
