Very dark red-brown beer with a yellowish small head. Stupefying nose of running smelly cheese as Camembert or even Herve, aggressive to say the least. Taste is perpendicular to the nose - even when this last keeps coming in whilst drinking AND returns diminuendo retronasal, proving it to be no imagination. Still, the main taste is nearly bone-dry, wry, woody and a bit mossy or dark green leafy in flavour. Despite the description on the label, it is neither bitter neither malty, though warming up, I get some lightly bitter chocolate. Medium bodied at best, a bit spritzy MF. To the point: I loathe the smell. The rest is noticably better, but there is no running away from this creepy cheese smell, which reminds me of a J.K.Jerome 3-man-in-a-boat episode.

Bottle picked up at SH Jones, Bicester. This was a slightly cloudy beer that once opened gave a really scenty aroma of Peaches. A very punchy flavour as well with the Peachiness again hitting you straight away, probably the one of the best of the Leek beers that I’ve had thus far as it is exactly what it say’s it is. This slips down very well and doesn’t shy away from being a full on fruity beer, tasty and pretty good!

500ml Bottle from SH Jones, Bicester, 15-04-06. Dark brown malty I found it to be a little bit on the sweet side and whilst ok the most dissapointing of the Leek beers I have picked up so far.

Bottle SH Jones, Bicester, 15-04-06 pale gold with a decent white head a pretty decent IPA with good levels of bitterness, bit yeasty if you pour it as clumsily as I did but fortunately I had had much of it before topping up.

Bottle 08-04-06. Almost black, medium off white head, whilst this was enjoyable it was also a bit thin, finish was dry.
