Style: English Strong Ale
London, England

On Tap at Beer Bistro. Now this was NICE! I loved the amount chewy bready malts mixed in with the thick raisin, and caramel aromas and flavors. This was a chewy beer, and felt like a meal, it was heavy, but oh so satisfying. It was a little more bitter than i was expecting in the finish, but overall, i really really enjoyed it.

on tap at the Golden Kiwi. amber with a tight tan head. big fruity malt nose with english hops in the background. big and full in the mouth with deep english fruity malts leading to a surprisingly bitter finish. very ejoyable brew. id say this is a English Strong Ale or at least thats what it reminded me of. really solid all around but the big english malts really won me over.

Draught at the Shepherd’s Crook, Georgetown. What a wonderful beer! This was ruby red/amber in the glass with a small head. The aroma was fairly faint: there was some dark fruit like cherry, roasted malt, caramel. The flavour starts out with a rich, interesting malt profile: full of fruit, cherry, chocolate, more caramel, some toasted nuts, all moving to more subtle hops, some bitterness: grassy, floral, with a nice rounded finish. This is all very well balanced and approachable. Mouthfeel was medium to light, excellent. The carbonation was light, but not for the style. Wonderful stuff.

Nose has fine malt, caramel, and some red pitfruit. Deep copper, small tan head, plenty of lace, impressive for draught. Taste is a fruity malt, wet hop leaves. Light bodied, really well balanced, alcohol isn’t noticed (6.8?), quite an easy drinking beer given the abv. Terrific!

Draught (keg) at Rhino. Bright, deep golden-amber with a small white head. Both aroma and flavour are solid and balanced, with notes of caramel, dried fruit and a drying, bitter finish with those delicious UK hops. Damn easy to drink!

On tap: Clear deep chestnut colors with rich ruby highlights and a 2 finger tan cap that lasts and laces up the pint glass. As this beer warms you get the wonderful aroma of sweet brown caramel malt, ripe fruits and hint of grass Front side floods the palate with rich brown caramel malts, some nuttines, some dark fruit, then the balance comes in with a sharp resinous bittering from long-boil targets that carries through to dry and bitter the finish and leave a metallic bitter after taste. A primo ESB very delicious and satisfying

Draught. At BeerBistro. Obviously I am interested in this beer because of my/its name, but it was surprisingly good - I would happily drink this any time, several pints, in fact. Poured bright clear ruby-walnut with a solid lasting creamy/foamy beige head - lovely colour. The aroma is a touch mild - toasty sweet grain and some slightly woody grassy bitterness - vaguely floral or fruity, but again, mostly just mild. The taste is very well balanced - solid up-front sweet fruity malt, light grain, nothing too harsh, with a solid underpinning of grassy/herbal hop bitterness ... nice palate story to this, it starts roasty-sweet, the mid section is perfectly balanced, and the longish finish is fresh and hoppy (UK hoppy, of course). Slightly light-bodied, solidly astringent (in a very good way, again it seemed a little woody to me), only mildly carbonated, but it finished nicely bitter ... Simple, well-made, a great drinking bitter - that’s actually bitter!

[Tap @ UJ’s Glenside; 6.3%] Poured a clear brown color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of nuts, caramel malts, some vanilla, and toasted dough. Taste of sweeter caramel, brown sugar, nuts, and some cocoa, with a dry finish. Seemed more like a brown ale to me.
