Aug 12, 2001 English bottle-conditioned Strong Ale. It’s what an English Strong Ale should tast like.

May 20, 2001 Excellent complex flavor and aroma, typified by yeast, fruit, with dry bitter finish. Especially complex for an English ale.

May 6, 2006 The beer was 17 months past date. Dark amber color, no ruby hints. The aroma was malty, but perhaps a bit dusty. It’s heading towards Old Peculier, but lacks the plummy notes. Small bubbles bite; toasty malty finish. Nice level of hoppy bitterness. If memory serves, this is a bit smoother than some, so the extra months may have mellowed it somewhat. Spice notes arrived half through the glass. Always a pleasure.

Apr 6, 2002 Fruity malty aroma, beautiful ruby body with short-lived beige head. Big malt flavour quickly followed by huge hop bitterness. Excellent, chose this ’Celebration Ale’ to bring up my ton and I’m glad I did.

Feb 3, 2006 Deep brownish orange, thick creamy lightly tanned head. A fantastic rich nose of dried plums, raisin, and citrus that are woven over layers of English toffee brittle and soft wet tea leaves. Dry dark fruity flavors, light anise, and touches of caramel are nicely balanced with a soft hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dark fruity, light bittersweet finish. Don’t pass this one up. It’s a classic in my book....

May 23, 2003 Updated: Jul 21, 2007Dark red. Thick, large, light tan colored head. Aromas of tobacco, coffee, strawberry, and some raisin. Very rich and heavy. Flavors of dark chocolate, raisins, nutmeg, and butter. Aftertaste of sweet hops. Outstanding beer.
