Apr 21, 2007 (Bottle) Courtesy of gracious trader BeerandBlues2. Dissipated white head with deep brown body. Nose of fig, raisin pulp. Flavour is overly malted for my weak tastebuds.

Apr 21, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours a brown cola color with a bubbly beige head. Lots of lace down the glass. Very interesting aroma. Very sweet, sharp, fruity, winey, vinegar, chocolate. Sweet, malty taste. Some dark fruits in there too and maybe a hint of alcohol. Interesting, unique beer. Pretty complex.

Apr 19, 2007 Bottle. Pleasant surprise, as I randomly chose this one. Poured dark with a slowly receding tan head. Coffee, caramel, and fruit on the nose. The alcohol is completely masked by the complex, malty flavor. Smooth, warm, and one I would definately order again.

Apr 17, 2007 Avery does not seem into the "we have more hops than you" mentality of brewing. Their products are very well made and eminently drinkable. This is from last year’s batch, excellent body, great balance, a truly tasty strong ale. Well made and highly recommended.

Apr 9, 2007 bottle - Pours dark amber with a moderate head that fades to a thin, sustained head. The aroma is of caramel malt and dark fruit and the flavor is along the same line with some mild hops for balance and maybe a hint of chocolate. It’s warming and very drinkable.

Apr 9, 2007 Solid medium brown pour with yellow/brown head. Head held at about 3/4 inch until dissolving to a thin lacing on surface of beer and around glass. Smells barleywine-sweetish, notes of fruit (strawberry?) and some generic licorice. First sip impressions: bitter! strong, full mouthfeel. Toffee flavor, more berry. Wow, is this stuff good. Very rich, amazing feel on the palate. I just got some old school bubblegum, you know the rock hard sticks of bubblegum that came in Topps baseball card packs in the late 80s? That is the prevailing aftertaste right now. A nice, almost spicy bitter cocoa comes through quite soon in the pint. This is a fantastic English Strong Ale.
