Apr 11, 2009 Bottled (From Citymarket, Pori). Deep copper colour with mediumsized beige head and good lace. Aroma is roasted malts, some dark berries, wood and also some slight caramel maltyness lurking. Flavour is fruity, slightly roasted and also has some dark berries as well as chocolate in it. The chocolate grows in the finish and aftertaste. A bit thin, but otherwise very drinkable. As it warms up the flavour gets some nuttyness as well.

Jan 11, 2009 500ml bottle at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Chestnut, lasting beige head. Again, it’s a pretty solid malty best bitter. It’s fine.

Mar 26, 2009 Bottled (BB 01/2010).
Clear, deep ruby color, small beige head. Aroma has mentholic hops, toffee, caramel and hints of vanilla. Tickling carbonation. Decent body for 4.0 % beer. Toffeish-sweetish with some dark fruity (raisin cake) flavors. Finish is more on the hoppy side. Ok pasteurised English beer.

Jul 21, 2009 Bottle from Tbone, thanks!
Dark brown color. Cookie caramel and licorice in both aroma and flavor. Thin, grapes. Some earthy hops. Sweet and sticky. Just a hint of salt. Tasty but not my taste.

Jan 18, 2009 A Mes rate. Bottle at Chris O’s pre NYE tasting. While plenty of folks sat round the table thought this was really good, I have to say it didn’t really float my boat. Decent enough but too much caramel and not enough character for me. I should probably try this again to be sure as people I have plenty of respect for enjoyed it a lot. Maybe I just don’t know anything about beer...

Jan 28, 2009 Bottle at chris o’s teabag for 2009 tasting. Alround rating: Brown ale malts, bitter, grassy small citrus character off the hops. Tasty enough.

Jul 25, 2009 Bottle thanks to my wife’s coworker: Pours a transparent dark copper amber with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of fresh grassy English hops and sweet toasty caramel malt with a touch of doughy yeast. Starts with average fullness and some sweet chewy caramel malts well-balanced with a fresh lightly piny hoppiness before a smooth bittersweet finish. A nice mild ale.
