Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Herbish smell, soft CO2 propelled a bit roasty/cereal. Maybe a bit earthy with a frothy/short head. Bronze colour and clear. Light sparkling on the lips developing harsher on the tip of the tongue, bitter. Light body, thin/slick texture fizzy carbonation and an average finish. An average ale to be best enjoyed alone at sea.
Bottle. Amber pour. Smell is quite malty with some notes of toffee. Taste is similar, quite sweet and stringy .aftertaste is quite bad, alcohol comes through abit too strong.
Dark copper/amber color. Nose is quite malty with some spicy nuances and toffee. Taste is dominated by malts, sweet and alcoholic finish.
