180ml bottle - bit of a tester this one, as I have preconceived ideas from my youth as this being the strong stuff the oldies would drink, and to be honest was always too scared to give it a go. The body is deep brown/amber, the head is a frothy ice-cream white, the nose is malty and sweet with a few notes of burnt sugar and caramel. Braving the first taste it is a bit sweet, again the malts, toffee, barley-sugar sweets, ends with a little boozy note. The mouthfeel is a bit sticky and syrupy, the end lasts, but isnโt too unpleasant. Glad it was only a small bottle, and glad I found the rarest of shops to split a 24 pack to let me buy just the one. Curiosity satisfied, I doubt Iโll ever try this again.

On tap at the Rose and Crown in Epcot. Pours yellow with a medium, foamy head. The aroma is butterscotch, earth, and resin. The flavor is mildly bitter and has a candy sweetness. The palate is light, astringent, and sticky. Overall, this is a mediocre bitter.

(300ml Bottle) Was left at home after a house party so not purchased through choice. Taste and aroma of nothing at all really so can not thing of how to describe it, I just know I never want to see/taste it again as it does nothing for me.

On tap - a dull looking beer, a bit on the bland side in aroma, but with a metallic peppery bite in taste. A bit mixed, but not offensive.

Draft at the Hilton, Swindon. Pours medium amber, with a nice frothy head and some thick, but short-lived lacing. The aroma doesn't give much away and to be perfectly honest, neither does the taste! There is a hint of bitterness on the palate and a slightly malty bitter flavour. This beer was created to quench your thirst and not to impress.... but then so was water! I used to like this beer a few generations ago but these days all it does is to show how far we have come in the world of brewing and how much my own taste had developed. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

An explosion of foam erupted when opening the can, and a thick creamy head covered the beer and the sides of the glass. A very mellow and mild bitterness, typical of English ales. Only thing better would be drinking this in a real Emglish pub....
