| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 30, 2007 Bottled. A clear dark amber beer with a medium head. The aroma is fruity with a hint of roast. The flavour has notes of roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Medium body, very drinkable, it ends on a good and long bitterness. Very balanced, one of the better examples of this style.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 10, 2007 Finally found one in date, 21st November 2007, finally! Fantastic nose; nutty and coffee-like roasted malts, cooked apple, sherry, spice, alcohol, nice and big. Pours a cleanish bronze body with a billowing offwhite head. Big lengthy palate, clinging to mouth, slight sourness which is strangly welcome. Rich flavour, plenty of coffee and nutty malts with some toffee sweetness, notes of port, Delicious apple, plum, dried fruits. Early sweetness is balanced with a lingering, dry, moderately high bitter finish, with a good amount of resiny, grassy hop flavour. An unbelievablely good English ale, a definate stand out, which was somehow unremarkable last time i tried it! Highly recommended! scanovajr (361), Stanford, California, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 28, 2009 500ml bottle. copper pour with a big tan head that sticks around. good looking brew. muted but good aroma of toasted malts, caramel and light hops. well balanced taste of toffee/caramel malts and candied fruits - backed up by a dry, spicey, orange peel finish (comes off as salty). overall quality stuff. rmussman (905), California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 28, 2007 Aroma is semisweet with a very grain/oats based scent. Pour is excellent wtih a dark hue and a highly carbinated essense that leads to a thick head. Mouthfeel is very smooth with a long lasting flavor base. Flavor is very hoppy with a hint of dried fruit.
