Sep 15, 2006 500 mL bottle. light orange/copper colour with thin white head. My first impression is a sharp bite in the mouthfeel & the finish. A medium body but not smooth, just a little harsh & thin (maybe all the carbonation in this bottle or those Golding Hops). Defiinte cidery and spicey flavours which I hope mellow out the taste as this pint warms a bit. Not a premium bitter (try Hobgoblin or Fuller’s London Pride which both have more depth of smooth malthy fruit flavours). This only gets a half decent rating because I love this style and that malty after-taste a bitter tries to deliver.

Sep 12, 2006 Must be the black sheep of the Black Sheep Beer family, because it sure looked amber to me! Nose is caramelly malt with surprising banana and citrus notes I haven’t seen in British bitters before. Flavor shows 1) hop bitterness 2) maltiness and finishes with more hop bitterness.

Sep 11, 2006 500ml bottle, 4.4% a/v (Nice bottle!)
Maybe not as black as the name may suggest but surely a rich brown pour.Very little carbonation, and a creamy offwhite head. The nose is faint but almost soapy with a bit of hop. The taste is a strange bitter but malty combination, never tried anything like it before. The aftertaste is a nice dry hop taste. Pretty good beer!

Sep 5, 2006 Light brown color. Interesting armoma: Hoppy malty and some tropical fruit. Malty, but dry up front. Fairly yeasty. It finishes long and bitter. Overall quite unusual. Certainly English, but not like another beer at all.

Sep 5, 2006 Body is a golden amber, with a nice bubbly white head. Aroma is slightly hoppy, along with a touch of caramel, honey, and light grapefruit. Taste has a nice hoppy background, a light amount of caramel, almost like a wheat note too.

Aug 22, 2006 500ml bottle.A very dark amber with a fluffy off white head.Aromas of malt and hops are quite evident.Smooth and well balanced with just enough hops to keep it from being to malty.A good brew but I would not ask for this very often.
