Sep 9, 2008 On nitro, pours a beautiful ruddy brown with a bit more crimson in it. The nitro causes a cascading cream colored head that is like velvet that persists the whole time I drink it. The nose is subtly caramel malty sweet. The flavor is a bit more overt, with more caramel, but added to it is brown sugar and slight dried fruit. Clean finish and creamy mouthfeel.

Sep 3, 2008 Bottle. Thick and dark with a decent tan head. My friend described it as a meal in a glass. Somewhat chewy with a definite biscuit flavor. Light roasted notes with a hint of molasses. This would make a great winter warmer. In fact, I think I will have another.

Sep 2, 2008 Can from Belmont Station in Portland, OR--Poured a brown-grey body with a fluffy tan head that dissipated. Smooth, nutty, mildly sweet, crisp, caramel flavor. Finished with residual fruitiness and some bittering hoppiness, but not much. Very light and highly quaffable. Nice brew!

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle, thanks to Craig for this, part of my Cropredy swap box, consumed 28-08-08 Pours mid amber with a white frothy head. The carbonation is quite high, makes one belch a few times aside from this there can be very few complaints, its just a simple no nonsense bitter which I liked, its not too bitter, not too fruity or malty, its just a really simple but decent session ale that I could happily quaff all night long, and even more impressive to think that its pateurised. Nice beer.

Aug 28, 2008 (Bottle). Aroma is mild sweet malt. Color a dark amber, with a medium off-white head. Flavor is very smooth, a little nutty, and mostly caramel malt. Finish is semi-dry, with a lasting maltiness and some tang. Pleasant and refreshing.
