I wouldn't call this an English Bitter like Greene King Abbot Ale or Boddington's. It really tasted more like an American Amber like Killian's. It really didn't live up to the wacky name for me, or the price. Nothing really stood out. If given the choice I would get their Double Chocolate Stout next time.

Dark nut brown. Dry. Neutral. Relatively bitter. A well balanced but rather one dimensional beer.

Updating my early pre-geeky notes: Light fruity caramel malt aroma with hint of persimmon and earthy peppery hops. Bright, clear red-amber color with orange overtones. Short fading head but good lacing. Balanced flavor presentation with tingly peppery hops first apparent, followed by an orangey malt flavor with light caramel notes, and a light finishing bitterness. Very smooth, almost slick, mouthfeel, but not undercarbonated. Curious fullness of body despite overall mild flavor - although I might consider that typical of an English Brown Ale (despite its classification here as Bitter...I'd place it as Brown Ale or Dark Mild, except maybe a bit too much hop flavor for Mild.)
