Bottle from the rot box. A mostly clear amber toffee coloured pour with a lasting fine beige head. Aroma is semi sweet, chewy toffee malts, orange rind, resin, grass, some age. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, chewy toffee biscuit, bitter pine, metalic, assertive hop bitterness, grass. Palate is thick hop oils, bitter, moderate carbonation. A little harsh. Should not have lost this one in a box.

Bottle (out of date) from Craft Beer Oasis, Crewe – drunk at home. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a large beige head. The aroma is sweet and fruity – musty red wine and pear drops. The fruitiness continues in the mouth, berry fruits and mushy apples mixed with vanilla. There’s roasted malts in the mix as well, but they are hiding underneath. Some soaked wood and Jamaican rum as well. Finish is still fruity, but now with a slight bitterness. Very nice and hides its strength well – but not a lot of actual stout character to it.

Bottle - labeled as “Fordham and Dominion Candi Belgian Tripel” - pours clear gold with not head to speak of - looks still - nose and flavor are quite sweet, but also bring a slight sourness which may or may not be intentional - apple, pear, honey - some earthy and floral hops - light spiciness - finish is lightly warming, with some lingering baked apple tartness - meh.
