Catching up on some paper ratings. Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers. Aroma of nuts, biscuit, caramel and chocolate spread. Full bodied and smooth. Minimal carbonation. Very nice.

Catching up on some paper ratings. Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers. Aroma of a glass of wine rather than an ale. Not sure I would have been confident it was an ale in a blind smell test! It was very sweet bordering on the unpleasant side. It was interesting but not sure I would have it again

Catching up on some paper ratings. Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers. Aroma of strong alcohol (like paint stripper), strudel, stewed berries and a light maltyness in the background. Quite sweet with minimal carbonation. Not really for me.

Growler from the brewery. Dark brown, black, thin beige head, nonlasting. Strong alcohol nose, some mild chocolate and hints of cherries, sour character. Strong sourness, very puckery and slightly burning. Minimal sweetness. Tart finish. Short aftertaste. No trace of alcohol. Lighter body. Bit too sour.

Growler from the brewery. Hazy orange, larger white head, ok lasting. Nice dessert nose, ripe bananas, vanilla and some choco-banana candy. Pretty sweet, quite cloying, more vanilla than banana like. Medium bitterness, but doesn't really balance the sweetness. Lasting aftertaste. Medium full body. A bit too sweet really, but definitely not bad.
