Bamberg joly day 2 25/01/2014. Bottle shared at Cafe Abseits. Thanks to Leighton. Clouded orange coloured pour with no head. Aroma is sweet jammy marmelade. Flavour is tart, tanin and grape skin, with some orange skin. Dryish palate is a tart finish. Not much hop character.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear amber, thick, long-lasting white head. Aromas are light, but there is a noticeable blackcurrant note, light spice. Taste is thin, light sweet. OK, but not their best.

Bottle from Beers of Europe [280414]
Black, big tan head that dissipated to a thin head
Aroma of roasted malts, some charcoal, burnt notes, ashy
Taste of dark sweet fruity malts, charcoal, ashy burnt roast, dark plum jam. slight sour fruits.....I don’t like that ashtray note
Palate - soft carb, medium body, smooth, fairly oily. Finish of burnt ashy charcoal, dry roast, burnt scratchy feeling at the back of my throat while drinking this that’s not pleasent....sweet malts with this disjointed burnt ash
Overall - This isn’t my cup of ’beer’ at all....only drank a 1/3 of the bottle

500ml Bottle conditioned: BBD Jun 2014, poured at home on 30th Apr 2014. Pours a clear light amber/light brown with a huge white head. Initially I thought ’home brew’ from the aroma and first sip: it grew on me although there was a yeast presence throughout which I and the beer didn’t need. Semi-sweet, semi-sour and semi-dry, so a changing profile in my eyes. I like this breweries beers usually, this didn’t fare so well though: I’ll be trying more of their brews whenever I can even if this let them down a little.

Very light haze on this gold beer, tidy pale cream coloured head. Palate is airy and dry. Modest fine carbonation. Dry floralness, light bitterness. Touch of lactose. Slightly dusty feel. Mild grapefruit citrus. Airy dry finish. Okay.

Very light haze on this amber beer, small pale cream coloured head. Palate is smooth and softish. Fine carbonation. Smooth malt, touch of light cream. Mild and unsweet caramel. Orangey dried fruits before a smooth finish. Mellow and drinkable. Mellow bitters seems to be an 8 Sail thing.
