Tall, brown 500ml bottle, best before 17th Mar 2011, drank and reviewed 26th Jan 2011. Poured into a UK pint sleeve. More dead leaf brown than red in body colour, the tanned coloured head fell away very swiftly to leave nothing apart from a thin half collar, not impressed with the look after 20 seconds of pouring! Malty smells, fruity too, we are talking about baked fruit biscuits here, without the sweetness. The taste is all malt, semi-sweet molasses and dried fruits (currents, dates and plums), not unpleasant, but not exciting. They claim to use amber, crystal and roasted malts, along with Goldings, Fuggles and Cascade Hops, sorry but they didn’t blend well in this brew. Slightly over carbonated for my tastebuds, almost fizzy in fact. Made me burp! OK more than good, the lose of the head so quickly killed the tasting for me, nothing stood out as different or interesting so it never really recovered from the initial bad vibes.
