RBESG Sheffield 2009 Grand Tasting at the Harlequin. Vintage 2006. Black colour, no head. Aroma of port wine, molasses, very sweet. Flavour is port wine, roasted malts, molasses, raisins, chocolate. Syrupy mouthfeel. No carbonation, fullbodied. Too sweet, but good nevertheless.

Bottle that I picked up at Bacchanalia, Cambridge, 18-06-09 consumed later that evening Pours deep amber with a white rim of head. Quite soft in mouth, tatse is slightly rustic and earthy but good stuff. Some old fashioned flavours, good maltiness, touch of toffee but slight tangy edge. Nice beer. A6 A3 F7 P5 Ov14 3.5

Very dark black. Flat. Liquorice, some alcohol. Light spice accents. Fruity (orange, pear). Rich inky malts - the finest tamari. Has a fresh juiciness. Very few impys have that. Unique character, lots of silk dark malts and that vibrant finish is brilliant.

Thanks to beerbill for sharing - this beer is all sorts of f-ed up - the aroma and flavor are semi-sour and fruity, with a lot of diacetyl, particularly through the middle - some doughy character in there as well - notes of sour cherry and light, lingering tartness - buttery finish - is this supposed to taste like this?

Bottle that was very kindly passed onto me by Craig, cheers mate consumed 22-03-09 Pours warm gold, but a little murky the head was pretty good though did depart swiftly and was sort of off-white in colour. Some earthy hops present initially and I know nothing about this particular bottle but it tastes like its a new take on an old fashioned beer, and typically of Old Chimneys its been done rather well as usual. Toffee, hops and a touch of yeast and malts swirl around the mouth but its the rustic earthy qualities I like and this sort of reminds me a little of my recent Hopshackle forays, another fine brewer whose keen to reproduce less popular or long forgotten styles. Really decent beer fruity and moreish. A7 A3 F7 P4 OV14 3.5
