Bottled at Bishop’s Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm. Transparently black, huge firm head. Aroma of coffe and chocolate. Mid-dry, feels light and airated despite a core of dense oily molasses. Grass caramel and chocolate comes along. A bitterness, which has resiny undertones, keeps growing. Feels rich,flavourful and potent, yet drinkable and fairly slim.

(bottle) Clear, ruby amber colour with a big and beige foamy head. Roast-malty aroma with toffee, notes of liquorice and shy traces of herbal hops. Sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Roasty malty taste with notes of dark bread, toffee; moderately dry and toasted, slightly bitter and subtle fruity finish. One of the better Irish Reds I have had so far. 06.XI.09

50cl bottle from an offie in Dalkey, Dublin. Clear straw with a thin off-white head; grainy and fruity aroma, citrus with some apricot and pineapple notes; rather oily in the mouth, with dry bready grains and some limey citrus, but rather disappointingly thin; clean citric and tartaric acid finish. OK but lacking character.
