Style: English Strong Ale
London, England

Aroma: Initial sweet honey, pepper, aromatic esters with British hopping. Medium-full bodied. Smooth, clean with very nice gentle hop mouthfeel. Smooth but with short sharp flavour bursts with each sip. Finishes dry. Very pleasant, maybe a bit to dry at end.

Copper color, large head. A medium bodied ale. Rich smooth malts, with a sharp biting hoppyness. Mellow flavor. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is dry and clean. Aftertaste is sharp and malty, slightly bitter. Nice mild ale

2009-12-11. Crisp ruby brown body with a fingers worth of creamy foamy beige head and lace. Gorgeous looking! Flavour starts sweet with a rich caramel malt, touch of toasty malt grows as you go becoming lightly roasty in the aftertaste. 7+ Smooth average bodied palate is adequate, lightly carbonated, and is pleasant but feels just a touch lighter than the beer calls for. 3+ Aroma is pleasant, lightly dusty/toasty malt, caramel sweetness. 7+ Not quite as much oomph as I remember the bottle having, but possibly more drinkable overall. One of the better casks I have had I think. 7+/5/7+/3/16 - 3.8 Cask at Volo, Toronto

October 2007. Bottle. Dark amber brown body with a good creamy beige head. Sweet caramel malt and modest earthy hops in the aroma. (7+) Similar flavour with sold malty character, caramel and brown sugar notes, tangy earthy notes. (7+) Medium palate (3+) Very nice. 7/4/7/3/16 - 3.7

Sept 2004. Nice dark amber, good size off white head. Bit of caramel maltiness in the aroma. Nice, well balanced with the alcohol peeking out just a touch in the finish. Good malty flavour with a caramel undercurrent and an "English" hoppiness. Hints of toasted malt? Nice palate. 6/4/6/3/15 - 3.4

Highly invigorated light brown head of fine bubbles that left behind a nice lacing on the pour. It has a transparent dark amber brown body. Malty aroma mixed with hops. It has a fizzy taste of hops and nutmeg flavor. Very rambunctious! Went down smoothly

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a 2 finger creamy off white head. Lots of fruit and spices. Caramel malt, lightly bitter. Light etoh orange and cherry. Everything coming together in a great balance. Great!

Bottle. Tasting 12-01-2007 (Søren, Peter, Carsten). Average creamy off-white head that mostly lasted. Excellent lacing. Body was light cloudy with a reddish brown color. Aroma was caramel, toasted, flowers, pine, herbs, spice and light tobacco. Medium to full bodied with a crisp dry texture and an average carbonation. Flavor was moderated bitter, but surprisingly balanced with the sweet. Finish was again dry crisp bitterness with an average duration. Quit nice one!

Bottle (presant from Mikkel) in train (x2000) going to Stockholm for the Beer & Whiskey Festival, shopping and visiting good beerbars (Akkurat). Clear red/brown - offwhite head. High malty, raisins, barley, berries, red berries, cookies, high sweetness, Caramel, sweet malty. Far too sweet. Dry hoppy finish.

Poured with an awesome dark brown hue, and large-bubbled foam top. Pleasant warm aroma, followed by an very good hoppy, wood-chip flavor with a hint of smoke and tight bitter finish. Excellent ale.
