Bottled (thanks Roger Källman!). Amber colour, mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is honey, some wood, mild spiciness, peat, and some alcohol sweetness. Flavour is bready, toffeeish, toasted and some mild bitter notes along with some mild honey and alcohol too. Pleasant. Better as it gets closer to room temperature.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours an opaque, dark brown with a tiny, dissipating off-white head. Nose isn't overly fresh, manure, rotten leaves. Medium body, fairly flat, some cocoa and licorice notes, but again it's all somehow flawed and unclean. 260219

Bottle 33 cl. Pours an almost clear amber with a lacing, off-white head. Odd aroma of coffee and phenols - not entirely pleasant. Medium body, sweet, sticky malt, roast and coffee with an astringent late bitterness. Rough! 200219

Bottled 330ml. -from Red Square Market, Val Thorens, France. Darker golden coloured, small to medium sized white head, weak whisky and whiff of fruits in the nose. Sweet malty, light caramel, touch of fruits and faint whisky notes with sweetish finish.

Bottled 330ml (AIH91)
Amber-reddish colour, small off-white head. Sweetish raisiny aroma, perhaps hints of diacetyl? Light to medium-bodied. Nutty, earthy hops, light vanilla and raisins. Quite UKish. ESB-like.
