Jan 19, 2008 Pint bottle. Pours a dark tan color with a quickly dissipating light tan head. The aroma is roasted malt and caramel. Watery malt mouth feel with a decent, smooth finish. Decent ale overall.

Jan 19, 2008 500ml bottle from BevMo Carmel Mountain. Pours a dark, slightly hazed amber. Medium sized beige head with decent lacing. Nose of candied fruits, caramel, honey, some hops as well. Somewhat dry ond smooth on the palate. A great english brew!

Jan 18, 2008 Poured a dark amber color with nice off-white head that dissipated into a thin film atop the beer. Aroma was nice; maltiness that implied fruit, caramel, and spices. Flavor is pretty much the same. Has a nice dry, fruity finish. Very smooth and drinkability is extremely high. Left nice lacing around glass. This is a very nice ale.

Jan 15, 2008 Bottle from Sainsburys. Copper with an off white foam. Aroma is weak, I really had to struggle. I’ve swirled and swirled down to the last bit just to get a few whiffs of sweet malts, yeast, raisin, caramel, metallic hops and alcohol. Taste is malt. Bready, biscuity and again slightly metallic with a bitter dry hop finish and an alcohol burn on the way down. Quite boring and just didn’t live up to the hype for me...

Jan 11, 2008 A medium dark brown pour with a tan head. The initial aroma was brown sugarish, hints of spice with malt and light abv. A flavor that reminds me of raisins, lightly sweet with a fine light bitter finish. Carbonation and mouth feel are pretty close. Very good beer it took me a long time to get around to drinking.

Jan 6, 2008 Great balance of hops and all around pleasing on the palate. Poured out of the bottle, and slightly yeast taste (didn’t leave the 1 cm at the bottom). Spectacular and all around enjoyable. More bitter at the end

Jan 6, 2008 Trade with Matt7215. Bottle: Pours a rusty copper with a thin white head. Not much aroma, slightly malty. I am all for hoppy beer, but it needs to be balanced, which this one wasn’t. Coming from a bottle I didn’t expect a metallic taste. Overall I am highly disappointed.
