Cask (gravity) @ Paisley Beer Festival 2011. Hazy dark golden oclour, off-white bubbles. Aroma is a bit fruity, some vegetables. Flavour is slightly caramel, vegetables, bit of hops. Dry and slight boozy finish.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 2007. Deep orange gold colour with no head. Reasonable honeyed. Some malt, some hop. Bit like a honey sweet, but not sweet, it’s dry. Honeycomby like a Cadbury’s Crunchie.

I'd actually like to speak a bit about a different Killer Bee than is listed - the one from Tin Whistle of Penticton, BC. This dark honey beer has an understated complexity, where you can find such diverse flavours as tobacco, chocolate, coffee, malt, smoke, and honey. The beer has that honey-ish crispness, and is made from 5 malts, 3 hops, 4 honeys and some spice.
