Feb 23, 2007 Aroma is filled with candied fruits. Flavor is rich on the entry, but seems thin on the finish. Still, it’s quite pleasant to drink.

Feb 19, 2007 An outstanding brew and cases of it have passed though my kidney. Described by Roger Protz as ’a rich beer with a fruit cake aroma, spices and nutmeg from malt and hops resulting in a dry, fruity finish’. Wish I could buy this in Alberta.

Feb 9, 2007 Pours a nice brown, cloudy with a thin tan head that vanishes pretty fast. The aroma is sweet, almost wine like. Good flavor inspite of being a little thin. Malty, strong and fruity. One of the better ones in this category.

Feb 5, 2007 Updated: Mar 28, 2009Had bottle of this beer in Cambridge, UK in Dec 2006. Clear copper-ruby with a one-finger head that leaves a nice frosting. Aroma of spicy toffee cake with orange zest. Flavor is earthy caramel with orange, toasted nut, and some spicy apple and wood. Just enough roast to give a nice coffee-cocoa, orange and oak aftertaste. Medium body is smooth, slightly watery in a good-drinkable way and has a dry finish. The best British beer I found in two weeks in England! Apr 2008 update: bottle purchased in Atlanta, even better than I remembered, upped from 4.2 to 4.6
