| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 9, 2006 Very "English" tasting, with a slight diacetyl aftertaste. Beautiful soft carbonation, allowing the ingredients to shine through. Just a tad watery, since I like more body in an old ale. Hard to describe flavors, caramel, banana, bitter orange peel, bouquet garni. Unique. TheGrandMaster (1869), Auckland, New Zealand
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 9, 2006 Poured from the bottle at The White Horse on Parsons Green (London), a dark ruby red with no head. A strong rich coffee aroma. The mouthfeel is a little syrupy, but enough carbonation to contrast. Roasted caramal is the dominant flavour, with the presense of the alcohol also quite strong. anders37 (4760), Malmö, Sweden

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 2, 2006 From a 1pt. shaped long narrow neck brown bottle with a info about the ale on the front label and a blurb on the back label. Made a good appearance, poured a opaque ruby hued brown with a foamy tan head that settled into a thin bubbly lacing, decent carbonation. Had a dried dark fruit and oak woodiness aroma, with a toasted caramel maltiness in the background. A semi-creamy, smooth, but textured full-ish medium bodied mouth feel, good drinkability. Raisin dried fruitiness and a oak barrel woodiness in the flavor, a mellow spicy, resiny hop bitterness and a dry fruity and lightly toasted grainy, malty finish with a slight alcohol burn in the palate.
A very nice Olde Ale, tasty and very drinkable, worth seeking out.
