From old tasting notes. Lovely copper colored brew with a large foamy beige head and a few medium sized bubbles. Toasted malt nose hints at brewed coffee. Slightly bitter malt flavor with an underlying sourness. Brief, spicy dry finish and aftertaste. Fairly well balanced. Nice flavor.

Vintage tasting at the Kulminator. Brownish bronze colour, dried fruits, spicy notes, very malty, smooth with woodiness in the finish; clearly oxidized as well, which is not surprising considering the age of the tasted sample.

Dégustée au Bockée à Boucherville. De couleur ambrée-dorée et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle, léger de caramel doux avec des notes de houblon herbeux (foin), de fruits (agrumes) . Rondeur moyenne-mince en bouche avec un léger-moyen pétillement ainsi qu’une une texture légèrement crémeuse. Notes fruitées (agrumes) dès l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût de grain de malt légèrement sucrés (caramel très doux) avec des notes de rôti et de pain puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes amères de houblon herbeux aux traces florales avec de faibles traces métalliques. Post-goût court et sec, légèrement amer de houblon floral aux notes herbeuses avec quelques traces métalliques.

Originally rated February 2005. Poured an amber colour with a nice creamy head with very good retention. Lacing was also thick and spider web oriented. Aroma was of biscuits and slightly sweet malt. The taste was also sweet, like mild caramel, and had a little bitter kick at the end. Nice and smooth mouthfeel. This is the closest thing to Boddington, when both are compared from a draught can. Great session brew.

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful deep amber with a frothy and very lively head. Very malty, lightly caramelish character, finely balanced by a harmonious bitterness. 050301

Sampled on draft at Smokin’ Joes in Pittsburgh this beer poured a cooper color with a small white head. There was a light sweet aroma. The flavor is lightly malty, faintly sweet and very mildly hoppy. Another boring English ale, yawn.

Canned, clear orange colour, creamy white head. Smell is malty and bitter. So far so good, looks like a more promising one than Caffreys Irish Ale, but no. Once you taste this one you get the big surprise, it’s very watery and the only taste I find is a very sour one. The taste completely spoils the beer imo. It gets worse and worse the warmer it gets. Plus points for that it looks nice, and it feels good in the mouth (with taste not counted). But that’s almost the only positive things.
