Keg @ Friends of Ham, Leeds. Slightly hazed red with a thick creamy-bubbly head. Strong tasting with some nice fruits apparent. Has a hoppy sweetness, most notable in the nose that includes some floral notes.

Bottled, BB 11-02-2024 (so prob bottled 11-02-2014), large sample. Almost clear dark redbrown color, short frothy off-white head. Aroma of lots of grainy oat, whole-grain cookie, roasted malt, bit earthy hop, coffee, slight milk chocolate, hint of butterscotch. Slight sweetness in taste, quite some malty bitterness together with earthy hop bitterness. Slight creamy mouthfeel, bit milky. Quite dry in the finish. Quite decent stuff.

33cl Bottle from De Bierkoning. Murky dark amber-orange colour, thin off white head. Aroma of some citrus first, tea leaves, somewhat hoppy but not as much as hoped, caramel, malts. Flavour is sweet, malty, caramel, a bit floral, citrus, leaves, tea, decent bittersweet finish, fruity and sugary acidity. Medium-bodied. More a Barley Wine IMHO, could be a lot more hoppy.

Cloudy deep amber to red rusty brown beer, big irregular unstable, light beige head, bit adhesive. Aroma: citrus, pineapple, piny and resinous hops, sweet caramel, some banana. MF: soft to no carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet and malty start, caramel, peach candy, spicy honey, soft bitterness. Aftertaste: piny hops, sweet and sugary, peaches, caramel, malty, little sourish, bitter, hint of grapefruit. Not bad, but a little too sweet for my liking.

Dryish and grassy beer, with some malty and yeasty sweetness. Some mild pepper as well. Quite nice, but has a little too much of a belgian blond.

IPA with a bready body of caramalt. Taste of aromatic and fruity hops, mixed with the sweet malt. Good beer.

Solid black IPA. Malty body of roasted malt, with some rye. Yet also a fresh hoppy note. Good one.
