An Amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of caramel, while the flavor is dusty from the Goldings hops, combined with powerful notes of caramel.

A hazy amber beer with a thick beige head. The aroma is lovely hoppy combined with notes of lemon, while the flavor is sweet caramelic with a dusty hoppy note giving it a dry end.

Black concoction with red-brown highlights; greige-brown sturdy head. Dull but intrigueing spicey nose - a bit like the peels of pistacchionuts, some black cardemom and restrained coffee. Short spicey-bitterish onset (again cardemoms), then swinging to sweet and dark malts, the black cardemom flavour never gone from the picture. The sweetness is also not strange for cardemoms. Some nuttiness as well, and chocolate in the finish. Serious body and texture, alcohol however fully hidden. No indication if this was oak-aged. Maybe none of the bottles are. It’s sweet, but in a nice, (chocolate/coffee)dessertlike way. The beery equivalent of café Liegeois ? Big thanks to Mat W! Cask Nose with lots of cacao powder and bay leaf. Chocolate flavours, portwine accents, meaty esters, and very vinous, with still some hops in the finish. Chewy but not syrupy, extremely velvety MF. Excellent, very complex beer. Iron fist in velvet glove.

Cask conditioned at the Ipswich Beer Festival 2004, gravity dispense. Listed as a cross between a mild and a porter, which indeed it is - an interesting one, too. Coffee and chocolate aroma. Quite sweet and malty flavour. Not bad at all.
