Bottle at tasting at my place. Pours dirty brown with tan head. Nose and taste of dry bread, caramel, nuts and light spice. medium body. Awesome beer name.

Pours hazy mahogany into an English pint. Soapy head with medium retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Caramel aromas. Flat and sour with butterscotch and hot rum soaked prunes. Blech.

Bottle from Downtown Wine and Spirits. Pours a hazy light brown with a smallish off white head that dissipates quickly to a cap but lingers forever. Aromas of rich dark and caramelized sugars with a bready yeasty and fruity edge. The flavor is more sweet sugary darker malts with a bit of a minerally almost salty flavor coming through. Bready with hints of rum and raisins and a bit of an earthy herbal hop flavor and bite. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet but sharp mouthfeel. Decent beer, but not something I could drink very much of. I expect a bit of mineral bite in an English ale, but here its a bit strong and harsh.
