Ruddles County 500ml, 4.7% - England

Deep amber color with a darker head. Some lacing is noticeable.

Bread and grainy malt aroma. Some hops.

A good bitter taste. Caramel malts, hops are present. A bit bready.

Works fine if you are really thirsty.

Hen's Tooth 500ml, 6.5% - England

This beer had a lot of settlement on the bottom. When I opened the cork there was a load carbonation sound.

The beer poured very fast with a huge head, leaving a lot of lacing around the glass.

Floral sweet together with hints of malts and caramel.

A little sense of roasted malts tops with earthly hops, citrus, some grass and fruits. I think there's even some grapefruit I'm getting after half of a glass.

Quite an enjoyable beer, way much better than the Speckled Hen.

Old Speckled Hen 500ml, 5.2% - England

Spicy red color, very little foam.

Malty smell together with some sweetness.

Nothing special at all here. Light taste consistent of malts, hops, with a gentle caramel after taste.

I've tried this beer many times before, but decided to review it together with Hen's Tooth, which is coming up next.

Strong Suffolk Vintage Ale 500ml, 6.0% - England

Poured dark black with one finger bronze head.

Very sweet but at the same time spicy smell, hints of caramel and toffee.

What an amazing and rich flavor! We have caramel, burned toffee, roasted malts, some cappuccino, different varieties of spices and fruits. It even tastes like those Christmas cakes that are produced by Glenfiddich.

Mouth feel is great. It's soft and gentle, a bit creamy. The level of carbonation is just about right.

I'm well chuffed that I tried this and you all should do the same!
