If you want to look good drinking beer, this is the drop! Packaged with a great looking, understated label and a catchy name it follows through in the glass. Rich, cloudy, dark amber with a dense, creamy head that clings to the glass and hangs around for a while. This is a handsome looking beer!
With all that colour came a little too much burnt caramel for my liking – probably just means it’s not a summer beer. To counteract the caramel they’ve packed in a strong hops bitterness that does it’s best to balance the sweetness, but somehow gets in the way as the glass gets empty.
I last wrote about this beer back in April 2007, and I wasn’t terribly impressed then. I can only say they’ve been working on it, because I found this encounter a lot more enjoyable.
