A caramel aroma, not overly malty. A fine brown body and a tan head. Flavour is an easy fruity, hoppy infusion. Smooth on the palate, with a dry finish. Really rather good.

Tried at Pizza Port’s Real Ale festival on cask. Nice malty aroma. Nice color. Above average beer I like it. I’ve seen it at the stores for a while, but this is the first time I’ve tried it. Rerate: 4/11/08. Nice malty aroma. Easy to drink everyday beer. Exact same rating.

Bottle sampled. Pours brown with red edges, and a decent size light tan head. Aroma of fruit, caramel, nuts, and hops. The flavor is caramel, nuts, slight fruit, and finishes dry. Good brew.

Bottle from Country Club Liquors; Nose of caramel, dark fruits, yeastiness, and some grassy hops; Rust colored with a medium beige head; flavor has some hop bitterness, caramel, and a slight coffee note. Nice light session brew!

Bouteille, Courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur ambrée foncée et transparente. Nez malté de caramel toffee sucré aux notes terreuses, de pain, légèrement fruité (notes de raisins, de prunes et de cerises noires) et chocolaté, légèrement épicé et de houblon légèrement terreux et aux notes citriques ainsi que des notes de noix et de café. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse. Goût moyennement fruité (raisins, léger de pommes et notes de cerises noires et de prunes) et légèrement épicé (léger de poivre, notes de clou de girofle) suivi d’un goût malté de caramel toffee moyennement sucré et rôti, de pain aux fruits (présence d’épices) ainsi que des notes de chocolat noir parallèlement à un goût moyennement amer de houblon terreux et aux notes citriques et herbeuses avec des notes de café et de noix asséchantes (très faibles notes d’alcool). Arrière-goût moyen-long et légèrement sec, moyennement amer de houblon terreux, herbeux et aux notes citriques et léger de rôti, de café et de chocolat noir ainsi qu’un goût fruité (moût de raisins et de cerises noires et pelures de pommes) et de noix.

500ml - best before 03/20/06 - Aroma is caramel malt, nutty fruitcake and that distict British rusty water yeast/malt combo. Pours transparent copper with a big fluffy head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is clean and a tad syrupy. Not bad but I am curious how a fresh one would taste.
