| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jul 12, 2007 1/2 pint at the St. James Tavern in London on 5-25-07. Dark gold with a 1 finger off white head that left some nice lacing. Malt and very faint hops on this one. Grassy hops, cardboard, woody, stale malt, and charred earth on the initial taste. Malt and woody earth to finish. A more medium hand-drawn palate with no carbonation. A fairly solid bitter. Got a bit watery towards the end though. daniel0017 (232), Ontario, Canada

Clear, dark amber with quickly dissipating bubbly head and nice lace. Malty, caramelized sweetness and ripe, fruity notes with a sweet yet bitter aftertaste. Lighly tart, smooth mouthfeel. Complemented my fish and chips perfectly! FatPhil (3483), Espoo, Finland
