A pitch black beer with a fine head. It has a nice aroma of smoked malt with hints of liqurice. The flavor is a very filling stout flavor with a strong smoked taste. A very fine stout.

Ruby-brown colour; the head is making hoodoos - awesome! Aroma of port, roast barley, nuts, black cherries; palate is smooth and rich, leading to intense roastiness. The sweet port comes in late and cuts the roast off just before it overwhelms. Surprising depth of fruitiness. This is a former champion winter beer of england, and it's not hard to see why. I had it on a sunny 26C afternoon and it was rockin'.

Russet colour; earthy hops, moderately bitter. Touch of caramel, dried peaches, tobacco, fairly quenching finish, but it was a sunny August afternoon in London.

Unique, bursting with herbal hoppiness, yeasty fruitiness, and quenching wheaty acidity. Complex and flavourful - a standout amongst American-style wheats.
