Sharply hopped american ale. Has some notes of sweet fruit and toffee as well. A little thicker than the usual pale ale.

Nice beer, really warm and spicey. It has actual notes of speculaas and cinnamon and not in a chemical way, but in a real organic way. Complex aroma and taste.

Bottle at the Croydonia Tasting, thanks to Jackl, 13/07/13. Murky chestnut brown with a few floaties swimming beneath the light tan head of spotting. Nose is oaky, dark toffee, brown sugars, gritty, light waft of booze. Taste comprises bready malts, toffee, grain, light booze, dark fruit, berry fruits, demerara sugar. Medium bodied with bite, moderate carbonation, bitter fruity finish. Ok for the booze level but lacks much in the way of complexity, drinkable though.

A beautiful, hazy, orange-red colour, a head is medium, dense and beige. The nose is unique, but quite pleasant. Lots of flowers, strawberry liquirice, sweetness, honey and perfume. Totally, the weird and caramelly aroma. Taste is strongly flowery, honey sweetness, caramell, but luckily there are also lots of drying spices. Medium bodied, fresh and easy to drink. Unique and extremely aromatic beer, flowers and caramell.

Bottle at the Croydonia Tasting - East Croydon. Thanks to Jack for this not-too-common style - and a great pick for 30C weather! Pours deep amber with a creamy beige head. Sugary, semi-dark malts in the aroma, dark bread, dark fruits. Medium to big sweet flavor with expected dark malts, ripened dark fruits, bread, plums, etc. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Toasted dark bread to finish, light bittern toast, earth, light cocoa, more ripe fruits. Good. Decent balance for the ABV.

Bottle at Croydonia tasting, thanks to jackl. It pours deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is soft, sweet berry.. particularly blueberry, as well as roast, chocolate and a touch of alcohol for good measure. The taste is caramel, roasty, blueberry, blackberry, raisin, earth, chocolate, boozy warmth and faint aniseed. Medium body and fine carbonation. Smooth, boozy and rather drinkable. Quite impressive really.
