Bottle. A bargain at £2.70. Pours copper with broken off white lacing. Aroma is caramelized malts with toffee bread notes. Taste is medium sweet to bitter. Palate medium bodied average carbonation oily feel and bitter finish. It's most remarkable feature is we live in a world where I can buy a Mexican beer in JDW more reliably than a Surrey one.
330ml brown bottle, filtered, from Beers Of Europe. 6.15% abv. A malt focused beer, attractive soft toffee sweetness, just enough hops to balance out the gentle sweetness. A pleasant drinkable beer, though lacking in depth and character.
Stærk, let karamel, spiced Rom.

Bottle from Saveur bière. Com. Ámbar color, off white head. Bread, malts, mild bitterness. Not crazy
30-08-2017; bottle; at home (bought at Saveur Bière, as part of their August discovery box).
The looks of the beer are very nice. The color is a dark coppery red/brown. The beer has a dark amber glow. It is crystal clear.
The smell of the beer is great. I like it. There is a nice rich sweet maltiness, which is very clear and present. I smell lovely clear caramel, some nice syrup, a touch of chocolate, red fruits, some almonds. I like it. Besides this there is a nice touch of hops, giving some bitterness there. Nice, and quite rich. I like it. There is also a nice roasted touch of chocolate and coffee, giving just a twist to the beer. Nice.
The taste of the beer is lovely.
The taste of the beer is also very nice. There are loads of sweet malts, with hints of syrup and caramel. There is a nice bitter roasty touch of chocolate and coffee. The hops aren't to strong, but give just a nice bitterness to the beer, and a nice fresh slightly sour touch. The beer is well balanced. I like the clear roasty and chocolate touches, which are a nice addition to the sweet caramel touches. There is also a nice slight touch of liquorice.
The palate of the beer is nice. The body is medium, with a nice smooth body and medium carbonation. The finish of the beer is nice. Nice malts, chocolate touch and some nice bitter and fresh hops. The finish of the beer is of nice length. I like the beer. Not bad, I'd like some more of it.

Amber ale de 5,5 % abv et 30 ebu, avec orge à 2 rangs et 6 rangs, malt choco. Grains sélectionnés, nous dit le
brasseur, on en est fort aise … Houblonnage en perle, cascade et magnum. Malheureusement la bière est pasteurisée, mais elle n’en semble pas pénalisée .. quelle chance !!
Mon exemplaire était à 2 mois après sa date.
Couleur ambré roux cuivré, à la clarté nette.
Bulles fines, vives.
Mousse qui est un nappage à fins flocons, stable à 2 mm.
Arômes de pomme rouge, malt cara, pointe de miel, chicorée.
1ère bouche bien souple, à la très belle entame malt cara/houblon/épices.
Arrière-bouche très équilibrée, longue, fine.
2ème à la très belle fusion des saveurs.
Arrière-bouche où la pointe de miel est très élégante.
3ème à la belle progression et de très beaux malts.
Arrière-bouche avec un ensemble épices/baies très intéressant.
La longueur trouve encore du très beau malt, des baies, de l’amertume adaptée au genre.
L’assemblage est très beau.
Jambes huileuses, longues.
Levure un peu résineuse, belle ligne.
Alcool très bien pour le sujet du jour, il fait son travail de soutien de l’ensemble.
Finale qui répond à ce beau challenge
CONCLUSION : on est surpris par les belles qualités de cette amber. Inutile de dire qu’elle est
amplement sous-estimée sur ratebeer !!! De là à dire qu’il faudrait la laisser vieillir un peu pour trouver sa vraie valeur, ce n’est pas impossible … Les bières nous réservent tant de surprises !!
Drunk at the Cricketers in a glass from the bottle. Not a good beer. Bad aftertaste.
Much better than expected. Genuine flavour depth & good richness for a sub 6% beer. Bock like funky red fruits and chocolate. Good value @ 160 baht and I gotta say I’m a little surprised at the 25% style ranking.

Bottled0,33L. Dark orange color, limpid and poor bubbly aspect with discreen bulky head. Soft woody and soft caramel aroma, notes of alcohol, yeast and dried malt. Equilibrate prickly mouth, good alcoholic and roasty malt perception. Medium bitterish and ashed final.
