Poured into a snifter, the appearance was a ruddy burnt amber to brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a moderate pace. Stringy glossy lace.
The aroma has some toffee malts, figs, super light amount of chocolate and toast. Vanilla sweetness as well.
The flavor leans malty sweet with a graceful attempt of low grassy bittering hops. Toasty vanilla warmth enters in on the aftertaste with the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable to sipping quality about it. Alcohol warmth wants to show some pizzazz but maintains a good background. Slyly smooth on my tongue.
Overall, really nice English styled strong ale perfect for this time of the year, of course I would have this again.

Updated 9/17/17. Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Andover Liquors. Appearance is hazy light brown (fine dark particulates) with trace sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with fair retention and decent soapy lacing. Aroma is tropical fruits with light grapefruit, dank earth over malt backbone. Taste is tropical fruit, light grapefruit, dank earth over grainy malt. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with average carbonation and more sweet than bitter finish. Overall, some complexity but not in the most flavorful, pleasing way. OK.
