Big slightly tanned head. Colour is brown, amber. Pleasant hoppy or even slightly amber aroma - aroma is not longlasting. Mouthfeel starts very watery with some malt flavour. Aftertaste is short, metallic, slightly bitter. It’s OK but this beer looks better than taste.(7/4/6/3/10 3.0)
Bottled (BB 09/2004) Light copper color and small off-white head. Hoppy, trefoil and honey aroma. Crisp, fruity, sugery. Short sweetish, slightly bitter finish. (6/3/6/3/12 3.0)
Re-rated, bottled (BB 09/2005)
Golden color, small white head. Herbal nose with English hops and some skunkiness. Sharp fruity hops in flavor and aggressive carbonation. Nice hoppy bitter aftertaste. Very watery palate. (5/2/6/2/10 2.5)

Very dark colour, almost black. Head is thin, brown. Aroma is malty but weak. Flavour is thin, some bitterness in the end but not so much than you could expect. Drinkable but too watery to be in my favourite stouts list. (5/5/5/3/11 2.9)

[Cask at Charlie's Bar, Copenhagen] An amber beer with a fine beige head. The aroma is nicely hoppy and fruity with notes of yeast. The flavor is weird - it seem that it hasn't finished fermenting. I don't like it.

A hazy red beer with a fine head. The aroma is sweet with notes of yeast, cloves, and oranges. The flavor is nicely sweet with notes of oranges, cloves, and aroma hops. It ends on roasted note before the subtle bitterness kicks in. A rally nice christmas ale.

2008-11-03, cask conditioned at J.D. Wetherspoon - Shakespear’s Head, London, 6-4-8-4-16=38
Amber color; medium-thin creamy head, persistent. Mild aroma of caramel and hops. Good body strength, with sweet caramel flavor; the hopping is a bit fruity, in the end there is some flavor of macadamia nuts, lightly buttery. The final is pleasant, with nice hops (between a 4 and a 5). Well balanced. Very good.
2003-11-29, cask conditioned, 1st pint of the barrel, 6-4-8-5-15=38
Hazy orange color. The aroma, malty, is still light, but the flavor is very interesting, sweet, bitter and fruity, much more harmonious than the American IPAs. Long strong final.

The aroma is very light with notes of esters and yeast. The color is orange closing in on amber and it has a small bubbly very fast disappearing head. The flavor is nicely sweet malty with notes of oranges, other fruits, and hops. It ends on a nice dry bitterness.
