Bottled. Clear, golden beer with a white head. Aroma has malt, hops, peach and lime/lemon citrus notes. Flavor has some pine-notes, and malt, citrus and hops. Medium body with a bit stickyness, and a long dry finish. A good beer, but certainly not worth the £12 asked for here in Kristiansand. (060213)

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours black and completely opaque with a creamy, light brown head. Vinous, lightly tart nose. Lovely, lightly sour, vinous flavours - actually this reminds me of a very good Flemish Sour. A very sophisticated and refined brew. 270106

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear amber with a small, off-white head. Lightly floral and very fresh aroma hops in the nose. Rather light-bodied with distinct nutty flavours and a hoppy finish. 200106

An amber beer with a nice orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw, berries, and caramel as well as a slight acidic note. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of caramel and straw, leading to a dry end.

Draught pint at Redbones on 1/8/2006. Clear burnished copper tints throughout a very deep maroon-mahogany brown, Head is large, foamy, beige and mostly diminishing to a ring, with little to no lacing. Aroma showcases a smooth, rich dark chocolate, with light hints of burnt coffee. Almond and vanilla notes add a further drying presence as the chocolate slowly takes over. It has a sticky, thick aroma to it. The flavor is quite bitter up front, bitter cacao that is, with coffee and cream, an oat-like smoothness and some long, drawn out dry toffee. Lingering bitterness from the barley and definitely some type of lactic-like dryness. Watery texture detracts and seems at odds with the powerful, rich flavors. Carbonation is rather prickly as well. Definitely not the right medium in which to serve this beer, draught English (Scottish) beer just dosent seem right, to me anyways.

Golden ale with a thin white head. Fresh hops in aroma, restrained and classy, with good malt base. In mouth, a souvenir of England, with restrained bitter fresh hops, honey notes, some nice little citrus, and those little treacle candies. Very nice. Bottle bought at Knightly Liquors, Orlando, 4.99$.

Think of a more full bodied Newcastle and you come close to this beer; and that doesn’t sound so bad. The aroma is of light malt. A dark brown beer with low carbonation. Light malt and hops, and a touch of coffee. I didn’t pick up any chocolate, but the beer is thick. Not bad.
