Had my three dots a few nights ago, and the laptop died mid post, losing all my clever descriptors and witticisms. Memories: Intense orange marmalade. Packed a wallop, but not too much heat, just a little to let you know what was happening. Simply huge taste and aroma. No head. Awesome rose colour, how'd that happen? Barry nailed it with petrol in a jerry can. The aroma was like stepping in front of a truck. Surprisingly candy-sweet finish? Amazing beer mate, thanks for providing it. I didn't notice any bottling defects, if they were there they were well and truly drowned out by... Everything. So much of everything.

Cheers.

No dots - 'Some beer' is the tag - too right, some....bloody... decent ....beer this one!!

Burnt brown with a big pillowy light tan head as I pour this one into the glass.

A sharpish caramel nose with and chocolatey alcohol volatiles come off what seems a strong beer to me.

On first taste I get a boot more of the caramel chocolate and a solid bitterness that doesn't have a lot of hop aroma to linger, but the slightly acrid crisp malt flavour gives plenty to chew over and a dry long finish as I swallow the first mouthful... and the next.  This reminds me of the tobacco and licorice rizla rollies that I used to smoke a while back.  The local pub, three doors down from a crappy damp share flat, was the Colpitts ... the beer was Samuel Smiths OB where a regular lock in was a the  way to spend the winter evenings...but  I digress.

Back from refilling the glass and I'm liking this hulking brute of a beer - strong and gutsy with a bitter, roasted heftiness that does plenty to fend off the cold coming in from the shitty winter night outside tonight.

Thanks Mike - its a ripper.
