Deep reddish amber in colour, with a thick creamy head and delightful hop aroma. On the palate, it is predominantly dry, though the malt character is evident in flavour and body, and it finishes with a long-lasting and pleasant hop bitterness.

Pours dark brown-red with a soapy tan head. Scent is bready....raisin. Taste is water...dark bread, fruit. An older bottle...very sweet/clingy. Probably better than this specimen shows.

Nice copper amber pour. Nose and taste is very earthy, some brown sugar and molasses. Some toffee too. Rated 3/4/03

Pour is a cola brown with a small tan head. Aroma is molasses and earth. Flavor is super dry with some of the molasses in the aroma coming through. Some dark fruit is left after the swallow but nothing to save this one from the maybe category.

Dark red brown ale witg a thick off white head. Sweet brown sugar aroma, like vanilla fudge and dry raisins. In mouth, sweet caramel with very buttery notes, oxidized taste, a bit astringent, nothing thrilling. BB April 2004....jeez, I have to check my BB dates more carefully!

Bottle. Sweet raisin malt aroma. Cloudy orange brown color with small head. Brown sugar and raisin flavor with moderate hops finish. Pretty weak for the style.

(Bottle 50 cl) Dark bronze with a creamy, cappuchino-like head. Quite full-bodied in spite of the low alcohol. Very aromatic with a dark and lightly burned character and a nice hoppiness that reaches far into the finish. 010104

Brown sugar, caramel, and leafy, tobacco-like hops permeate the air just above the clear coppery red, tan-headed liquid in my glass. Great flavor too- these English ales seem like the perfect complement to a cigar while flipping through ancient, dusty books in a dark, wood-shelved castle library. With a candle, of course. But I digress...there is plenty of brown sugar and caramel in the flavor, with woody notes, raisins, and leafy, spicy hops. Earthy, a bit chalky, and flavorful. You really can’t go wrong with this beer.
