Bottled. Pasteurised.
A well balanced and full bodied beer demonstrating fruitiness, with the Crystal Malt content being distinctive. The hoppy mouth gives way to a sweeter finish.

Bottled. Clear amber color, small tan head. Minerally metallic aroma with some toffee in it. Malty, licorice flavors, salty-hoppy finish. Mouthfeel slightly thin for an ESB. A bit similar to some Fullers’ products.

(on bottle)The word "old" is important; this beer is very matured and I like that. Gode/deep brown in color and both sent and taste is kind of square, hard ans young, although of the name. Very strong lash of wood and barreloil in the finish. Oh yeh, as Dalle says, pine in there too.

Bottle. Pours golden amber with a off-white/yellow head. Dryish hoppy aroma with sweetish malty notes. Sweetish malty flavour with notes of hops. Fruity notes develops as it warms. Bitter finish with a sourish touch and dry notes. Slight notes of apple. A bit thin. Slightly oily palate. 30-11-06.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very pretty, clear amber with a dense, lasting head. Lovely fresh floral aroma. Rather light with some nutty notes. Not overly bitter - the hops add mostly aroma. Very classical bitter. 060601

A Mes rate: Tobacco, marzipan and manure in what I can only describe as an unusual aroma. Good looking redish amber appearance but with poor head retention. Creamy, slightly effervescent(sp?) flavour with some enjoyable fruit notes plus some slight liquorice and coconut. A solid English beer. Still not sure about that aroma though!

bottle from Waitrose Sidmouth. Clear chestnut/amber colour with a mid-sized off-white head. Malty, slightyl fruity with a hoppy touch. Old Hooky reminded me of a German Dunkel.

Bottle at home. This is a bitter beer with a lot of different flavors. A very English bitter. Watery and a bit fruity.

Bottle. Reddish brown with a slight off-white head. Aroma of caramel and dried fruit. Flavour was malty with some more fruit and a bitter finish. Good.
