Oct 27, 2002 Pours a lovely orange-amber with a generous pocked head and fine webbed lace...Aroma is rich, estery, lightly sweet, a bit like a cream sherry...The flavor is dry, slightly roasty, with well-bittered hoppiness and trace sweetness adding comment. The flavors are layered and have great interplay...Carbonation is suitably light...Body is full; it is quite smooth but with edges that bite a little---great mouthfeel! In sum, this is great drinking...Richness, complexity, harmony, substance---all here in ample measure...First rate!

Jul 20, 2002 Dark amber color with a off white lasting head with moderate lacing. Nice balance of malt and hopps. Complex. A good example of an english strong ale. This exceeded my expectations and will be on my repurchase list.

Jul 5, 2003 This beer rocks!
Slightly hazy, deep copper ale. Large, rocky, beige-colored head. Good lacework.
The nose is full of stuff: Raisins, light molasses, yeast (bread dough), tawny port and caramel.
The flavor matches the aroma. A medley of many rich things; caramel and molasses foremost. Fairly well-balanced.
Full-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Excellent finish! Lengthy, bittersweet and moderately alcoholic. Reminds me of a good scotch ale. A winner!

Jan 30, 2005 dark red/brown, off white head. aroma is a mix of dried fruit and hard candy with malt, toasted bread and a whif of alcohol. flavour is sweet, buttery and round with loads of malt but very balanced at the same time. hint of vanilla in the finish. quite nice.

Apr 11, 2003 Dark amber body with smaller and bubbly tan head. Good lacing. Aroma consists of fruit (cherry, apricots) and roasted malts. Flavour is a beautiful mix of fruit, roasty toasy malts and spices. A great mix of taste without having either the typical citrus, chocolate or coffee. Finish is dry and fruity with a hoppy bite. A superbly crafted ale.

Feb 17, 2005 What a colour! Dark red brown with a big but quickly disappearing head, leaving some lacing. Lemon/orange aroma with some malt and some chocolate. Lots of hops in the flavour, dry and with a sharp aftertaste. I’m loving it!

Nov 15, 2003 Updated: Aug 27, 2005pours a deep amber, slighty ruby-tinted. light carbonation and a small head. malty, spicy/floral aroma. first is a nice hint of roasted barley malt, and there is a perfect subtlety to the hops presence. complex mouthfeel, with malt dominating but it results in a little bit of lingering bitterness. semi-sweet finish. this is definitely a beer i could drink all day!
