Jan 10, 2006 Hazy red brown ale with no head. Sweet apples in aroma, cidery, very oxidized. Sweet lightly hopped BW with strong alcohol warmth, overbearing and unbalanced. This is off. Bought at Utobeer, Borough Market, London, February 2005. May 2005, Capflu’s BW tasting.

Jul 5, 2005 Slight hazy amber-brown w/ almost no head. Aroma is malty (caramel, chocolate) & fruity (cooked apples, plums) but somewhat oxidized. Flat, lifeless feel. Flavour is reminiscent of caramel apples w/ some butterscotch & toffee. I didn’t find this beer nearly as bad as those with whom I shared (tiggmtl, CapFlu, Olivier_MTL, Goldorak, MartinT) but it was definitely past its prime.

Jun 27, 2005 Bottled. Clear ruby, no head. Vinous nose. Very sweet with some caramel and chocolate as well as coffee. Full bodied and very salty. Comparing to Right Angler it is more fruity/berryish, and alcohol plays a more prominent part. Warming and intense.

Jun 6, 2005 The label and beer name may well have been intended as a joke but it is in poor taste at best... Speaking of poor taste:
Browned apples, marzipan, sherry and cardboard in the aroma. Opaque brown body with absolutely no head at all. Still and lifeless. Green apples and cardboard mar the caramel malt flavour with some suggestions of roasted/chocolate malts toward the mercifully quick finish. Medium body with no carbonation. Possibly once intersting flavours are ruined by a sad presentation. Bottle sampled with CapFlu, Goldorak, Joey_Capps, Olivier_MTL, Lubiere and MartinT.

Jun 1, 2005 (12oz bottle) Headless. Nose of SHUGGA!!! Fruity but flat, lifeless... much like that after a nuclear attack.
