Description:
Our secret weapon. A fulsome, winsome strong ale. A deep copper tinged brew for the true aficionado, longer fermentation and thrice hopping bring about a complex soft bitterness allied to a malt induced sweetness with the characteristic oily Fuggles hop perfume. Not just for students. Once "stuffed" savour the flavour of a glass as a digestif... True "Aroma-therapy". (Description provided by company)

Comments
Bit of a bitter punch
Bronze with a thin off-white head that quickly shrank to a ring. Smell was somewhat faint other than roasted malt and brandy/alcohol lingering. Taste started with roasted malt and evolved into a bitter hoppy boozy brew. Half of the time the flavors seemed fine and other sips and gulps were overly bitter or boozy. The mouth feel was mostly watery with a bit of carbonation burn. Too unbalanced and inconsistent for me.
