Mar 19, 2006 Pours deep burnt orange-red with a large off-white head. Diacetyl and lactose are apparent in the first sniff. A good bit of fruitiness (banana, pear) comes in alongside some roasted, chocolaty notes on the second. The flavor starts with that banana fruitiness followed by a surprisingly strong earthy hoppiness. Finishes pleasantly bitter. I find it difficult, however, to get past the remarkably British banana and diacetyl beginning.

Mar 7, 2006 Solid, tasty, toffee ale. Malty, slightly dry taste with a sweet aftertaste. Strikingly harsh from the bottle compared to the cask, though this is more of an interesting variation than a bad thing. Be sure to serve at the correct temperature; this ale is particularly sensitive.
