| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 9, 2004 Very bland Bitter... pleasant, but not what you would expect from a British Bitter... BückDich (4857), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 8, 2004 Golden bronze color with light off-white head and some lacing. The aroma is moderately hoppy with some balanced biscuity caramel. The flavor is also balanced with some of the base malts and the initial (but not now) hoppy notes coming through. The finish is nicely acidic with some nuts amd light malts. not too bad, another import, another rating. Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 8, 2004 Mahogany pour with a large creamy head and sheets of lacing. Wet malt aroma, soft earthy hops. Toasty flavors. A bit more of the earthiness, perhaps wood or nuttiness. Bitter hops come through towards the end. Wet grainy palate, bitter hop finish. wunderbier (1271), Tampere, Finland
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 8, 2004 Pint bottle, nonick glass. Nutty and toast malt (M); earthy, herb hops (M). Argo0 hit the nail on the head by saying it smells like an autumn morning when the leaves on the ground are damp. Deep copper body with a tight, creamy, white head that is well lasting and leaves sheets of lace. Moderatley sweet, lightly acidic flavor becomes a moderately bitter, lightly acidic, dry finish. Medium body, watery/creamy texture, soft carbonation. The bottom line is: there's just nothing striking about the flavor and there's an odd filmy sensation left behind.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 1/5 | 14/20 | Apr 8, 2004 (on bottle)A pretty simple beer that turns to the sophisticated. Having this with a pizza wasen´t fair from the start, but the "Special bitter" had to be tested. No head and a beautifull dark amber color to start of with. A quite fruity aroma is kind of weak in the begining, but a few sips in and the bitter aftertaste really comes to life. YourDarkLord (1800), Urbana, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 31, 2004 A frothy off white head tops a dark amber body. Nose is nutty, earthy, some sweetness. Full flavor, some sweetness. Decent. Engelsmann (653), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 30, 2004 Red/brown colour, creamy head, nice taste of roasted malt, good bitternes, some sharpness from the carbonation.
