Bottle: Pours a dark brown with a medium tan head. Nose is heavy roasted malt and coffee, maybe a bit of smoke. Taste is mix of coffee and roasted malt, hints of cocoa, and a dry bittersweet note. Thanks to BuchDich for sharing this one.

My 300th rating from England.
Very dark brown color, small off-white head. Toasted malty, a bit chocolaty aroma. A bit yeasty, dark caramel and crystal malty flavor with roasted and chocolaty notes. Some dark chocolate in the aftertaste. 7-4-7-3-14 3.5 ... Bottled, BB 10/2009. Dark ruby color, small steady beige head. Tobacco, dark chocolate and toasted malts in the nose. Soft palate. Toasted, dark coffee flavors. Quite similar to cask version. 7-4-7-3-14 3.5

Lemony, bright yellow colour with a brilliant white soapy head. Massive aroma of hop. Smells like beer did when you were a child. Dry flavour but still feels fresh and a little sharp in the mouth.

Bottle conditioned; nose is yeasty, grainy, and some floral hops with a tiny bit of banana ester I pick up now and then; color is urine yellow with a big and longlasting yellow tinged head; poured a small snifter full and set the bottle down. After a minute or two the foam was coming out of the bottle like a Forth of July fireworks snake. Flavor has spicy and citrusy hops with a nice light bitter finish.

Bottle. Pale beer with strong white head. The aroma is nicely lemony with a dry finish, and the flavour is lemony and wheaty with a dry finish. Overall an average beer.
