Pours deep dark gold into an English pint. White head with excellent retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Dark caramel aromas. Soft with dark sour caramel upfront turning to earthy bitterness in the lasting finish.

Bardzo smaczny bitter. Wytrawny i gożki, tak jak powinien być właśnie bitter. Umiarkowany poziom alkocholu sprzyja delektowaniu się tą wytrawnością. Praktycznie brak nagazowania dwutlenkiem węgla co jest oczywiście zaletą.

Total Wine, Fairfax nitro can: Pours a copper colour with a creamy head. Aroma is barely there. Taste is pretty light as well. Tastes smooth. Has a slight bit of bitterness. Nothing offensive and easy to swill. This is refreshing and pleasant enough, but not very interesting.

Widget can from Half Time. Pours with sheeting bubbles - turning clear bright copper with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of malt and floral/earthy hop. Med minus body. Virtually no gas. It’s lightly bready (much more so than lagers) and earthy or herby bitter. Mild bitter compared to NW DIPAS, but pleasingly and lingeringly bitter. A little sweetness comes up in the finish. But mostly bitter. Damn good beer for

Bland flavour. Pleasant if light bitterish aroma. Not much of a finish. Good dark red colour, artificial looking head. Low enough in alcohol for a session beer or on a very hot day.

Brown 500ml bottle, drank 10 days before its best before date of 30 Nov 2008. Poured into a Corsendonk tulip shaped glass. Deep mahogany, but clear when held to the light with a good sized light tan head which laced the glass as the liquid went down. A light aroma of malts, molasses and toffee came to me, getting sweeter as the beer warmed in the glass. The taste followed the smells, add liquorice on toast and you are not far away from what I thought the beer tasted of. Tangy, sharp, bitter and a bit too fizzy. To be a true winner it needs to be richer, creamier and an inject of more alcohol. Not wonderful, but I did enjoy the beer apart from the over carbonisation.

4.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 6 Overall 5
Originally rated June 2004. 440 ml can with a widget. Poured a hazy amber colour with a very nice, thick and creamy, long lasting head. A beautiful beer up to that point. Then, very little aroma. Light smooth taste and short finish. Reminds me of a Kilkenny, without the punch. It’s not bad at all, but just no taste and aromas.
