Bottle. Hazy, amber, bubbly head. A bit chewy, some piney hop notes. Balanced, sweet malt notes, again piney bitterness. Nice and old school.

Bottle, from the brewery. Slight haze, yellow. Bubbly head. Orange, malt, sweet up front with a hint of coriander and wheat in the finish. Ok, maybe could be a bit brighter.

An Oxford tasting
Dark brown color. Some earthy malts aroma and hops. Nice rosted malt base, a bit bready, roasted nuts, with nice resiny hops, and some dark chocolate in the final.
Quite good.

Dark brown. Bubbly head. On the nose, this is toasty, nutty on the nose. On the palate, there's some sweet malts with a touch of bitterness from piney hops. Decent example.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear dark copper color with light head. Aromas of candied grapefruit. pine and bready malts. Flavors of bitter pine and toasted malts with a fruity backing. Clean and simple, but there are so many others just like this...

Bottle - Caramel and a touch of spice. Deep dark brown with a small white head. Spicy grains and some caramel. More like a Vienna lager.

On tap at White Sails, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small tan head. Aroma brings out pretty restrained notes of toasted malt, barely any hops despite the IBU. Flavour is certainly more punchy in the hop department, with lots of roasted malt and even more astringent piney hops. A bit harsh even for the style, but it works out pretty well nonetheless. Solid.

On tap at White Sails, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small tan head. Aroma brings out loads of chocolate upfront, followed by a dry toasty malt backbone. Flavour is syrupy and chocolate-dominating, with lots of cocoa and a slight bitter astringency on the finish. Syrupy palate, which is pretty nice but makes it a tad cloying. Decent stuff.
