Mahogany colour. Appetizing, fruity cherry aroma. Dry with rounded mouthfeel, notes of tobacco. Some disturbing vegetables in the finish. Medium bitterness. This beer is like Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde.

Clear deep golden. Sweet, honeyish and fruity up front, followed by soft, rounded maltiness and a drier, resiny finish with good bitterness. Somewhat bold and unrefined, but still a more than decent pint.

A dark brown beer with a beutiful but disappearing head. The aroma is hoppy with notes of roasted malt. The flavor is very soft and dominated by a good roasted malt giving it a wellbalanced sweet giving way to a slight bitterness turning somewhat dry before lingering. A really good beer.

Near black. Dry and very roasty - yet fruity (apples and plums prominent). Notes of licorice. Long, dry bitter finish. A very pleasant cask porter.
