Bottle from Cornelius. Dark brown body with red tints. Large off-white head that leaves light lacing. Strong aroma of yeast, dark chocolate, orange and rum. Flavour of sweet toffee, sugar, rum and raisin. Spicy finish. Tastes quite boozy for 7.0% ABV. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Lively fizz. An excellent beer - lovely warming alcohol and rich, heavy flavours.

7.1/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Aroma: Mild hoppy aroma. Yeast, toffee, salt and almonds.

Appearance: Hazy amber body with a huge off-white head that slowly fades. Lively carbonation. Lots of sticky lacing.

Taste: Very yeasty, a little salty with a subdued pear flavour. Quite sweet and dry and just a hint of white pepper. Complex flavours that are reminiscent of a Belgian Tripel.

Palate: Medium body with a foamy mouthfeel. Soft carbonation fizz.

Overall: Yet another gushing bottle from Luckie Ales, but it’s worth the wait (and the clean up). This is really unusual; it’s unlike any other beer I’ve tried.

6.4/10 β€” Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Aroma: Bread, yeast, caramel and a touch of white pepper.

Appearance: Murky brown body with a small off-white head. No visible carbonation or lacing.

Taste: Similar to the aroma - yeast, caramel, bread and nuts. Quite sweet.

Palate: Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Very lively carbonation fizz.

Overall: After a major gushing incident, this turned out to be rather nice. Surprisingly complex at just 3.2% ABV.
