| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 21, 2008 pours a bronzy-amber with a white head. aroma is as described; toasty with a strong hop character, some alcohol, slightly earthy. taste is toasty malt, gentle-than-expected hops, some grass. not bad at all, would go great in a session. pretty nicely balanced, though the flavor is not as nice as the aroma leads on. mid-bodied with a frothy, prickly mouthfeel. nice hop-bitter finish that gives way to a sugary coating on the palate. nice webby lacing. not bad, bring one for your pals at your next session. gsmitty80 (650), Washington DC, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 13, 2008 This was a decent english ale. Poured with a medium to dark english malt color. The two row english malts make the flavor and aroma traditional and the trifecta of hops hide the alcohol well. I had no idea it was over 5%. Gmoney (258), ManchVegas, New Hampshire, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 23, 2008 12oz bottle. Not very appealing to my pallet. Strong overtones of hops. Bitter to an extent. Definitely something to settle for. estoppel (1028), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 12, 2008 Bottle. Amber body, medium off-white head, sweet malty nose. Very English character, some graininess. mrant (330), New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 11, 2008 Smells of strong bready yeast and bitter hops, some caramel sweetness. Reminds me of an imperial/double. Pours a nice cloudy dark coper with a small tannish head. Taste is very well balanced hops and malts. Bitter hops with a nice dark malt presence, smooth finish with a nice hop nose, I almost want to sneeze, but not quite. Very tasty, hides the 7% very well. sinkr (240), Lusby, Maryland, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 8, 2008 Bottle->shaker: Pours a thick, off-white head that is fairly persistent onto a dark amber body. Not much aroma other than a hint of sweetness. Has a carmel flavor that is bitter and fruty that has a medium aftertaste. mansquito (839), Boston/Philadelphia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 28, 2007 Copper brown body with a small white head... or maybe that was just my pour. Lacing stays around. Smels of suary malts. Sweet taste with a hint of hops. Some fruity tastes as well. I actually liked this beer. A slow drinking type of beer it was.
