500ml brown bottle, BB 28 DEC 07, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: dark amber hue, clear, quite gassy, topped with a tight and sustaining layer of white froth.
S: lightly resiny and dusty upfront, while the main aroma is malt-dominated, giving lots of hints of liquidy caramel (or burned sugar), creamy malts, orange syrup, and a mild touch of honey. The oaky undertone as described on the beer label is absent here; meanwhile, the aroma is simply too sweet and one-dimensional malty.
T: the initial entry of light, burned-sugary maltiness is followed by a mild floral undertone of hops mixed with licorice-powder and a wee bit of sweet citrus-fruits; the finish sees an intriguingly effervescent mouthfeel, some dryish palate of hops, and very limited bitterness. As to the oakiness promised by the beer label, well, I still fail to place it anywhere on the palate, apart from a faint trace of tea-leaf stem in the end.
M&D: quite gassy though not intrusive on the mouthfeel, slowly retreating in fizziness and turns slightly watery in the end... this light-bodied, malty beer lacks a gravity and a central theme, making it a rather dull bitter--maybe because of pasteurisation?? I hope the cask version can be nicer...
