Red-dark amber color; creamy head. Very nice creamy aroma. Good caramel and toffee flavor, malt, some sweetness, with very good American hops, bitter but balanced, aromatic, a bit fruity and resiny. Excellent.

I had the feeling for it at the exact moment I was removing the cap: gusher. It pours a muddy amber-brown color; some of the huge head persists. It has a quite strong aroma of English hops, a quite strong body, sweetish mouthfeel, caramel flavor and quite powerful bitterness, but of course a bit spoiled by a too evident yeast feeling. If the fermentation can be controlled, it would be good. To try again.

Hazy dark amber color, creamy head, thin. Nicely hopped beer, yes a Bitter with yeasty notes, earthy strong hopping. Rough but not bad.

Good head, off-white, persistent over hazy dark amber. Nice hoppy nose, bit of chalk, cookie malts or well-done cookies. Bitterish tang, nearly metallic. Good body, but the balance leans too much to the slightly crude hops. All in all, a very acceptable beer.
