Bottled. A hazy amber beer with an orangey head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, metal, and over ripe fruits - crazy. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel, alcohol, metal, over ripe fruits, vitamins, leading to a dry metallic finish. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

Bottle, 10%. Sweet, alcoholic aroma, mild raisin sourness. Cloudy red amber colour. Small white head. The flavour also has some raisin sourness, but there is also some bitterness to balance it.

29th May 2008. Colchester Beer Festival. I was told this was a blend of all their run offs (stouts, bitters, lagers the lot) with some yeast thrown in to referment. So what we have here is a huge Frankenstein of a beer. Hugely complex, very sour, dry, bitter notes, fruity notes, hops, malts - there is all sorts going on here. Lingering dry biiter finish. Different to put it mildly!

50cl bottle from Bacchanalia, Cambridge. Pitch black with a thin rim of beige head; rich aroma of espresso coffee and chocolate malts; rather thin in the mouth but with a good depth of roasted chocolate malt flavour with a meaty undertone reminding me of well-roasted lamb, and then leading to a really dry finish with some light coffee. Different, not exactly what I’d associate with a stout, more of a mild in my opinion.
