[i] [b] Bottle, many thanbks to Craig for this one cheers mate!, had this 02-02-08 [/i] [/b] Poured amber some haze, very little head. Aroma a bit malty and also some smokiness. Tasted really quite smoky with good bitterness and then a flurry of sweet malts drop in at the end. The smokiness is always there on the first sip and I was quite pleased to see that I’d noted that before even reading the description on the back of the bottle. This isn’t bad but a 568ml bottle is a bit too much as a half would have sufficed for me tonight. Just looking back at some of the rates, I reckon I’ve got a good bottle of this :-)

Bottle, at RBESG 2007 in Glasgow, Grand Tasting. Golden coloured beer, large head. Pleasant hoppy and yeasty aroma, slightly oaky, nearly a vinous character. The flavour has the same characteristics as the aroma, but is less vinous.
