Dec 12, 2007 Updated: Jan 3, 2008Rich amber color, good head that dissipates quickly leaving some lacings. Buttery caramel and fruit aroma. Taste is similar with alcohol and some bitterness at finish. Minimal amount of earthiness.

Dec 8, 2007 Pours beautifully from bottle, with creamy head which remains as I drink. Nose of sweet dried fruit: prunes, cherries, cranberries. Flavor more woody, w/ awesome depth due to the range of lightly sweet malt undertones. Strong hops dryness. Works!

Dec 5, 2007 16.9oz bottle, Best Before 05/Feb/09.Clear orange with some reddish highlights and a 2 finger light yellowish white head, good retention. Fruity aroma of prunes, raisins, and cherries to go along with toasty malts and caramel. Flavor follows with some light stale roasted notes to go along with the fruits and an earthy bitter (3-4 out of 10) dry finish. Medium body with low to moderate carbonation. Apparently, I’m not a huge fan of English Strong Ales

Dec 4, 2007 Wow. Lively hop bitterness and touch of yeast bite in flavor and aroma... underneath is proud solid malts that touch a balance between roast and restraint. This should age VERY well and open up in the process.

Nov 29, 2007 Bottle. Pours a clear, dark red color with a thin white head that dissipates rather quickly. Aroma is of baked apples, cherries, hops and some hints of spice. Flavor is of sweet fruit, spice, hops, and malts with a noticable honey finish. Mouthfeel is crisp and sharp. Very good.

Nov 29, 2007 Pours amber with a fizzy dirty white head. Aroma is big rich chewy malts, almost cake like, sweet and juicy. The aroma just makes you want to eat. Flavor is nice smooth and chewy, good malt, a medium sweetness. Possibly some fruits, berries, and nuts. Body is exceptional.
