Apr 1, 2007 From bottle. Very rich, fruity aroma of plums. Slightly liquor aroma. Great clear amber colour with an off white head. Rich ale, has plenty of flavour with a rich finish. A little to rich I thought but enjoyed it in the end.

Apr 1, 2007 Nice head and dark amber color. There is a lot of floral, fruity and malty notes and the bitterness is spot on in this great, almost slightly vinous beer.

Mar 30, 2007 Bottled. A clear dark amber beer with a medium head. The aroma is fruity with a hint of roast. The flavour has notes of roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Medium body, very drinkable, it ends on a good and long bitterness. Very balanced, one of the better examples of this style.

Mar 18, 2007 Pours a clear amber color with a soapy off-white head. Malty aroma with caramel present. Taste is sweet upfront (caramel) with a nice hoppy ending. Well-balanced and clean. Super beer!

Mar 10, 2007 After consuming the Cropton’s, this was a welcome reminder of just how good an English Strong Ale can be. Aroma of caramel. Flavor is a match, but it is a wonderfully deep, exotic, lush, rich caramel, with a faint note of fudge ripple running through it. A bit of bitterness on the finish dries things out nicely, keeping it from getting cloying. Really a great beer.
