Creamy over a nice blend of hops that gives the beer a nutty/caramel overtone with the hops. This one smells great. Pours dark brown, has long lasting creamy head. Great beer in the tradition of brown ale/Bitter!

From the bottle. Appearance unfortunately gets your hopes up...smells a bit nutty, with some caramel malts thrown in there. Taste is the same. Nothing terrible here, but nothing all that special, either. Meh.

Aroma is caramel malty with some honey. Clear, amber coloured with an off-white, lasting head. Taste is sweet, carbonated, caramel malty with a more bitter finish. Bit thin. Not really impressive.

Bottle. This is a delicious beer. Sure, the filtering and pasteurizing probably pull alot of body and flavor out of the original product, but that doesn’t change the fact that I want to swim in a tub of this beer. Caramel and peat aromas and flavors. Top notch.

Tasted from "nitro-can". A bit like drinking creme caramel. Nice mouth feel, yet feels a little thin. Tastes good, but I prefer my bitters with carbonation.

Carmel candy sweetness, and grainyness in the aroma and flavor. Nice reddish hue to otherwise brown body with long lasting, fluffy head (very inviting). Creamy, smooth mouthfeel goes excellent with the flavor profile.
