Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours a dark brown with a tint of red and a small and lacing beige head. The nose is rich in milk chocolate. Medium body, some roast and rather sweet chocolate - actually some late licorice as well. Some dark fruits and a roasty discreet bitterness in the finish. 021110

Bottled. A hazy deep red beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of spices, malt, caramel, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and alcohol, leading to a dry finish.

75 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown with a small white head. Aroma is caramelish and slight fruity. Thick caramelish and distinct bitter. Dark toffee malty, sharp and yet sweet. Subdued fruity. Bitter and dry finish.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours a hazy dark amber with a lacing off-white head. The nose is nutty with some wood, roasted malt and dry caramel. Medium body, surprisingly well-carbonated, spicy, woody notes, a whiff of smoke and dry overripe fruit. Extremely dry, surprisingly for the style, but it makes it very drinkable. Some bittering hops in the finish, but this really ain’t a hoppy beer. A very different - but interesting - take on a Barley Wine. 241010

Very robust, hoppy IPA. Almost pungent on the nose. Luscious reddish brown in colour. Great in the mouth and in the belly. I’ll be back for some more. Need to get this in bottles soon.

From a 330ml bottle on 8/10/2010 (label says bottled 20/7/2010). Has quite a strong grassy and slightly floral aroma. Has some bready notes and a fair bit of honey in the flavour, and has a decent hoppy finish. A pretty good pilsener which would be quite sessionable.

From a 330ml bottle on 25/8/2010. The aroma is very fruity - plums and raisins with some spice. Starts out very sweet, with dark fruit and caramel flavours prevalent. Lives up to its name with oodles of lingering hops. A big beer, which is not particularly subtle, but has a fair bit of character. Enjoyable.
