The bold malt complex is well balanced and refined with generous hopping of Chinook, Liberty, and Fuggles, and dry-hopped with Kent Goldings for an aromatic

Pours a transparent copper bronze with a nicely-lacing off-white head. Aroma of earthy English hops and sweet pale malt. Body starts with a full earthy caramel malty sweetness with some drier bittering hoppy notes and a touch of light fruity complexity. A nice English strong ale that hides its alcohol well.

Poured a amber color with a thin off-white head. Huge diacetyl aroma over some caramel. The flavor is of bitter caramel with a sharp bitter finish. Slick diacetyl mouthfeel.

12 oz bottle via Liquid Solutions. Pours a clear reddish brown with a large beige head. Nose is a funky sweet and sour-caramel & cheeries. Tastes the same, the sounress is like sour apples & cherries. This one has gone sour/infected. Crap, i was looking forward to this.

Bottle via trade with kenb, cheers! Pours a hazy, dark copper color, with a medium sized, creamy, tan colored head, nice lacing. Aroma is malt, sweet cherries, citrus, pine. Flavor is tart at first, then sweetens, cherry, caramel, floral hops, citrus, alcohol, there’s a lot going on here. Palate is medium-full, mildly carbonated, sweet, yet tart finish. Awesome, I love this! I musta got a great bottle, but this was really nice.

Dark copper with a small, fleeting, light tan head. Hoppy aroma with malty/alcoholic undertones. Full body, lightly carbonated, slippery mouthfeel. Hoppy, then sweet and malty, then hoppy again in the finish and aftertaste. Powerful, unique, memorable.

Uh oh. Looks like some people had some sour beers here. Acquired mine through a trade with Larry Pitonka, Thanks Andre! Pours a deep ruby amber with a thin off white head and some light lacing. Aroma is thcik with toasted and caramel malts, vanilla phenols, lgith spice, and some fruity esters. Tons of thick toasted and bitter-like sweet malts, lightly hoppy, earthy, sticky sweet, and lightly astringent and very appropriate tannin-like harshness in the end. Pretty good english ale overall. Nice and not infected at all.

Bottle: I couldn’t even take a third sip of this beer, all I got was sourness and acidity.

Thanks to Batkins for this one. This one had soured badly. The standout here was that I did get some almost some port like fruit notes but this baby had gone off and left it undrinkable. Sorry.
