500ml bottle - An old ale? Really? I thought it tasted like another bitter and a good one at that. The aroma is mostly malt, but the flavor has a nice balance of lightly roasted malt and crisp hops bitterness. It’s medium bodied and finishes dry.

This ale poured a deep red colour with a big foamy tan coloured head. To the nose you can get scents of caramel, butter, slightly smoked malt, coffee and a little cocoa. First taste is very smooth with flavours of roasted malts with caramel and a little coffee. The finish is a little bit hoppy with a bitter flavour lingering. Very Good!

Bottle: Poured an amber color ale with an off-white foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma consists of notes of caramel with some dry malt. Taste is a nice mix between some dry malt with some subtle notes of caramel and what I believe to be a Fuggles hops ending. Average body with some medium carbonation. Well done and easy to drink.

500ml bottle from K-Citymarket, Vantaa, Finland. I didn’t come all the way to Helsinki just to find this beer, but it was a pleasant surprise to find it in the supermarket. Gold with a loose white head; intense grapefruit aroma; sweet caramel body, thick and chewy with rich fruit - dates and figs; tghe finish is long and bitter but not overpowering. An excellent Yorkshire bitter.

Amber chestnut in colour with a hoppy, grassy aroma with a hint of freshly brewed tea. Fairly hoppy taste with light maltiness and some citrus tones. Pleasant aftertaste. Not bad at all.

500ml bottle @ Cardinal. Clear brown/red body with a medium beige head. Aroma is caramel malt, slightly roasted and some prunes. Flavor is balanced and very pleasant, roasted malt, caramel, dry fruit and liquorices. Quite well bodied and a good bitter finish.

Brown...actually looks like a pepsi with less carbonation, tan head...I smell rich malts, caramel-like...and sweet and like candy...molasses on the palate, quite pungent balanced well with just a touch of bitterness on the finish...over ripe bitter bananas...refreshing texture, leaves a taste that encourages to keep on sippin’

Cask-conditioned at the Plume of Feathers, Bristol. Amber coloured with a minimal head. Aroma had some fruitiness and floral hops. Flavour had some biscuity malt and a dry slightly hoppy finish. Ok.
