Bottle Orangepeel, wood and christmas spice aroma. Dark amber, low carbonation, fairly large stable head. Flavor does not match the exiting aroma: Oranges and dry wooden notes still there but to a lesser degree. Spices and slightly dusty english hops are appareant as well. Fairly light body and a slight fizzyness. English hop and wood aftertaste

(can) - Possibly my least favorite UK ale - not much aroma. Moderate hops bitterness but picks up a great deal of metallic flavor. Might be better in bottle or tap - unpleasant from a can.

Clear copper-brown color. Steady cream head. Sweet and a bit roasted nose. Smooth mouthfeel, but very very watery. Malty backbone but not much anything else.

Golden amber ale with a thick nitro widget head. Very faint malt aroma with light hops as beer is warming. Very light bodied, watery. Woody notes came out with very little sweetness. No hops in mouth. Boring.

Draft, at the "Warsteiner Forum," St. Petersburg. Hey, there’s globalization for you. The Russian barkeep in the dirndl made a well-practiced and patient pub pull. The beer was suitably dark under a tan and lacy head. But it smacked me with that same sour orange taste I got with the Millstream stout. This one tasted more like a bacterial contamination, as in perhaps they haven’t maintained their lines very well.

Sampled draught at Stockholm Beer Festival 2001.
Black with creamy head. Dry, clean, roasty and bitter. Similar to what Guinness has turned into the last few years.

[Nitro can] This beer has a sweet aroma with notes of roasted malt, yeast, caramel, and fruit. The color is amber and it has the dense nitro-head - a beutiful head - but in my opinion cheating. The mouthfeel is extremely soft due to the nitrogen. The flavor is of Caffrey - there is something unique - though on my tastebuds not that interesting about Caffreys flavor. If I should describe it; very sweet and malty - from a weird malt blend bringing out notes of caramel, roasted bread, fruit, and yeast. The end has an OK bitterness that lingers on the tongue together with notes of the roasted malt. The body is thin. Not a favorite with me.
