For me one proper and honest beer review is more worth than 100 ticks without any relevant content. It’s all about respect for the beer and the craftmanship behind. I will always try to do my best for a proper rating than playing the number game.

Bottle @ Telfords. Clear dark brown, almost black under a small, lacing beige head. Nice aroma of dark malt, lots of dry fruit and quite vinous with a hint of wood. Taste is strong and super smooth with malt, dry fruit and distinct red vine and a wooden touch. Balanced body with long lasting slightly warming aftertaste, otherwise alcohol is well hidden. Really smooth and pleasant imp stout in the crossing of a barley wine.

Bottle. Almost clear golden body under a white head. Aroma is quite typical pilsner, some malt, moderate hops and slightly herbal. Taste is typical pilsner as well, perhaps a bit sweet but otherwise I can’t say to detect any strange ingrediency like seaweed etc. Away from that its actually super soft and smooth, very drinkable and tasty for a pilsner. Fresh and highly enjoyable.

Backlog September 2011. Dark brown, close to black body under a fading beige head. Strong aroma of dark malt, soy, American hops and citric fruits. Taste is sweet malt, some roasted malt, citric fruits and bitter hops and quite alcoholic. Fine body with sweet, bitter and boozy aftertaste. Really nice start here, but the high alcohol make it feels a bit too muchfor me.

Backlog September 2011. Dark brown, almost black body under a small, fading beige head. Aroma is nice but feels very sweet in a way with soy souse, bouillon and alcohol. Taste is sweet, dark malt, dry fruit, soy souse and warming alcohol. Fine body with long lasting aftertaste. Actually, a lot better than it might seem to this description.
