Brown 500ml bottle, best before End of Dec 2008, drank Early Oct 2008.
Poured into a straight sided (sleeve) pint glass.
Deep, dark, almost Jet Black with a huge foaming head which was a rich tan colour.
Aroma reminded me of Belgian Chocolates and Belgian Christmas beers. Sweet, rich and warm, a kind of Peat fire smell without the smoke, if that is possible.
Roasted malt flavours dominate the taste, dark chocolate and coffee appear too. The bottle says they use East Anglian malted barley and English Goldings along with Progress for hops, I would never have known if they hadn't put it on the label.
In a blind tasting I would have been saying it was obviously a Belgian etc etc, I'd have been completely wrong. The 7% is so evident but without blowing your head off, so unlike most UK brewed stronger beers.
A very good beer, one I shall get my mate (who lives in Lingwood) to get me again.
