Bottle at chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig ’11. It pours opaque black, with a thin tan lace and low carbonation. The nose is caramel, tar, molasses, treacle, toffee and dirt. The taste is caramel, toffee, tar, molasses, chocolate, treacle, raisin, currant, wood, charcoal, smoke and leather, with a dry finish. It’s packed full of flavour for the alcohol percentage. Nice.

Thanks to Joes for sharing. Clear orange color. Don’t smell much hop. Taste suggests an ESB instead of an IPA. Just bitter, not much fruit and hops to me. Low body.

2007 version, 12.5% bottle on 24th July 2010 shared by invitation from Joachim and Victor at the CASK Pub & Kitchen, London. Thick sepia brown with thin foam ring. Yeast, coffee and chocolate aromas. Vinous red-wine notes in main kick, with caramel, toffee and a slightly smoky malt note. Thick, quite viscous mouthfeel. Lingering red-wine dryness on tongue. Would go well with a steaming bowl of stew.

Thanks joes for sharing. I don’t really like the low alcohol English beers. Not very bad, but it’s lacking in body, like most of these.

Thanks to joes for sharing this with me, benzai and countbeer. Colour is very nice. Dark brown with some nice red tones shining through. Smell, taste and mouthfeel are a bit weak, but i guess that’s normal for some English beers. Don’t really like that though.
