Dark nut brown, small creamy off-white head. Woody, hoppy nose. Woody and hoppy is also its flavor with some toffee notes. Bitterish aftertaste. Someway unbalanced.

Clear copper color, short head. Aroma is hoppy, crisp. Dry and bitter taste, caramel malty. Dry palate. Not a very good bitter.

Classic English bitter style, with the right bitterness and a fruity blackcurrant note.

An easy drinking beer, slightly undercarbonated. Seemed a bit underhopped for a bitter

A good beer - but for a bitter not very bitter - and not very creamy. It's a very drinkable beer with a good dark color and a good head (on tap)
