mkobes (2103), paramus, New Jersey, USA May 25, 2008 Bottle. Deep brownish red in color with a little head. Malty caramel aroma. Sweet tasting. Grainy malty flavor. Finish is bitter. Ok beer. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA May 25, 2008 Bottle. Brownish red color. How do I hate most English beers? Let me count the ways. 1. The hops always taste dusty. 2. Crappy head retention. 3. Aroma is like it was left in the dumpster for a few warm days. 4. Aftertaste makes me want to brush my teeth. Anyway, the decent thing about this beer is the decent sweetness of the malt. lagomswedish (213), Umeå, Sweden May 24, 2008 Bottle from Mattias. Bottle conditioned hazy amber body. Aromas of grainy cereal, lemongrass and wet straw. A bit of dusty hops and slightly spicey malt notes. Noticeable amount of caramel and a medium bitter finish. All in all a rather uninspiring ale. chimplechamp (463), Oslo, Norway May 23, 2008 pours amber copper coloured, slightly hazy creamy head. nose is floral with caramel and slight fruit, not as royal as i thought it might be. tastes slightly metallic like aluminum, good hoppage floral bitterness but that might be all it has going for it. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA May 11, 2008 Name: Duchy

dwyerpg (2519), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA May 9, 2008 Smells very nice. Chewy caramel. A nice light flavor. A bit of floral aspects but also stays on the teeth for awhile. Maybe lingers just a bit too long. ilovedarkbeer (1326), Dallas, Texas, USA May 4, 2008 Hazy orange color with a small to medium sized foamy off white colored head. Nose is caramel, alcohol, sugar, muted hops, and malt. Is is acidic with notes of grass and a bit of caramel. Decent bitter finish that is mild and somewhat floral. Not much to say. gam (1059), brisbane, Australia May 3, 2008 Frothy head that dies,but good cover,rapid carbonation,amber colour though more red than brown.Aroma,malt,hop,nut,butter notes.Flavour fruit,caramel,not a notable taste in my opinion,boring beer.Has some citrus notes,dry sweet finish.
