Very classical and righteously well-known English ale with a pale beige, mousse-like, stable head and a cristal-clear, warm and appealing bronze colour. Malty nose with fruity, orangey and flowery notes, accents of honey, port wine and coffee; taste a nice soft and smooth maltiness well-balanced with sweetish fruity notes, drying towards the finish and ending in a somewhat peppery hop bitterness linked to a bitterish toasted maltiness. Very English, very enjoyable, well-balanced ale.

(Keg at William K Annankatu, 20140702) The beer poured dark brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had toffee, caramel and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were caramel, sweetness, toffee, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A very, even too sweet English ale.

Bottle at Benzai. The Netherlands just beat Spain with 5-1. This might or might not influence this rating a little bit. Brown colour with a small to medium sized beige head. Smells malts, sweet, somewhat hoppy, some raisins, decent. Tastes sweet, malts, raisins, fresh, a bit watery. Thin body, soft but nice carbo.

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Nice deep dark red to brown color, average sized off-white to beige head that leaves good lacing. Not a lot of aroma. Taste malts, lightly caramel, a nice moderate bitterness. Medium body and carbonation. Quite like this one.

Flasche (50 cl). - Sehr dunkles Rotbraun, klar. - In der Nase würzig-süßes Malz, herb-fruchtiger Hopfen. - Im Antrunk schweres, herbes dunkles Malz, Karamel, aber nicht besonders süß. Kräftige Röstnote, bittere Frucht. Gut rezent, leicht sahniges Mundgefühl. Im Abgang massive Bittere von englischem Hopfen (Fuggles?). Extrem langer, fruchtig-erdig-bitterer Nachtrunk. - Kraftvolles englisches Starkbier; vielleicht nicht ganz so komplex wie andere.

Caramel-coloured, slightly lively-looking beer with a thin head and malt/caramel aroma. Flavour is a caramel and malt blend too but with a nice, sharp hop hit as well. very drinkable.

All malt here, appetizing brown color, off white head that dissipates rather quickly. Aroma of cheerios, bready malts, some dark fruit. Taste is similar, very smooth and easy to drink. Nice finish.
