Dark brown pour with red tints, beige head that left good thick lacing. Aroma is caramel malt, roasted malt, and citrus. Flavor is very sweet, with molasses, dark fruit and a bit of nuttiness. A hint of hops in the finish. A nice smooth mouthfeel, although a bit watery.The 9 % ABV is hidden well, however I let this one age a bit in my cellar. If you like English strong Ale, you should this one. he key is to let it age. I will buy again next winter.
