Style: English Strong Ale
London, England

Autumn brown color with nice creamy head. Nice mix of friuts, hops, and a mild malts. Sweet and spicy too. Left with a bitter taste and a little clove.

Clear copper with a bubbly white head. Deep aroma of malt, cookie dough, sherry, leather, and spice. Velvet mouthfeel. Toffee and molasses up front with the caramel malt colese behind. Coffee and crystal malt in the middle, with a nice bitter finish.

awesome strong pale ale. good accentuation of flavors and complex hop usage.

Pours brick red with a beige head. Looks amazing in the glass. Fruit, sweet malts, some caramel, toasty, some whiskey, oak, and light spicing. Medium, smooth body. Flavor is full of spices, caramel, toasty malts, dark fruits, alcohol, and light roasted malts. Finish is somewhat bitter with alcohol noticeable. Very drinkable even at 6.3%. Fantastic.

Bottle, 500ml. A nice clear dark amber colour pour with an average diminishing head. Strong aromas of malt, cirtus and dark fruits. Taste is malty, slightly hoppy and very fruity - there’s also something there I can’t put my finger on. Alcohol is quite noticable. A bitter, fruity finish. Full-bodied. Light carbonation. Very, very nice.

I was impressed with this ale. Nice brown/orange color with an off-white creamy head. Immense malt character with chocolate flavor and a peppery element. Has notes of bitter fruits. The strong hop finish balances the extreme malt charcter. Very enjoyable ale.

bottle. Cappuccino foam like head. Very nice fruity and sweet aroma.. apricots, suyrup. Flavor is also sweetish and fruity. Some malts. I’ve never tasted real "live ale", but in my imagination, it has always tasted like this. Excellent beer!

Rating is a composite of both a bottle and a cask rating. (However, both scored the same total.)

Served cold, needed a long cuddle to warm it up. Very deep reddy brown, small tight persistent head. Sweet fruity malts, even when its cold, plums and raisins. Soft in the mouth, some tang of bitterness hits the side of the tongue very quickly. Soon after that, a winey aroma goes up the nose. On swallowing, a huge wave of nutty and roast malts fills the mouth. Dark resinous sticky hops bitter up the mouth and leave a lovely long dry bitter finish. Incredible brew.

Classic English Strong Ale - delicious. Rich nutty brown colour, wonderfully soft but full fruity and spicy aroma. Caramel, cake, nutmeg, and berry fruits provide the base for the sweetness in the taste, but there’s a full well-balanced hoppy and oakey taste to cut through the sweetness, and provide the long finish. One is never enough.
