Second mustard beer in our two mustard beer tasting. It pours hazy deep gold with copper hues and thin off white head. The light aroma has notes of Belgian sugar, lighter colored fruity esters, some dark fruit esters and a hint of mustard. The taste is slick and sweet and moves toward dark fruity esters and a mild background, OK faint background, of mustard spice. I also get some yeasty spice and faint banana. Like the other mustard beer the mustard spice is just too faint. This would taste a whole lot better with a bigger mustard presence.

Bottle that I picked up in Bacchanalia, Cambridge a couple of weeks ago, consumed 24-10-08 Pours dark chocolatey, puddley brown with some very light carbonation. This beer has an unusual sweet shop aroma with icing sugar and yeast thown into the mix. Perfume in nose and in mouth quite weird really bit fruity (dark fruits) not really Impy stouty at all really, some mollasses, its rather strange and whilst ok I’m not that struck on it at all.

Good cream-brown head over nearly black beer with red highlights. Wood, peppery, lactic, dark malts, homely odour, if that means anything to you. Wow - what’s this? Curry, cypress, turmeric, alcohol & some fusels, wood... this is complex as few, but to pinpoint what’s what... definitely balanced. Ginger retronasal. Very well-bodied, but not yet viscous; slick, creamy MF. Very nice beer, near impressive. Difficult to find, no doubt, but definitely worth searching for.

Courtesy of ibrew2or3. Pours blonde, white head. Aroma and taste. sme floating sediments, yeasty and spicy (there is a definite mustard presence) lightly hoppy, and the beer is definitely loaded with alcohol.

330ml bottle bought at GBBF 08 (BSF) and consumed back home in Tromsø while reading the latest edition of Beers of the World. When settled in the glass. the beer reveals a slightly hazy, golden body under a frothy, white head. Fragile lacing on the glass. Very cloudy second pour. Modestly aroma of bitter and sweet fruits. Well balanced fruity taste containing peaches and lemon, ending with a touch of yeasty tartness. Soft carbonated and dry texture (11.10.2008).
