| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 5/20 | Mar 17, 2007 Draught, after the very long (and off-putting) settling process, a becomes a light brown colour with a thick foamy (and unnaturaql looking) white head. Aroma is of swet caramal and slightly metallic. Quite metallic again in the mouth, a weak and watery mouthfeel, the flavouring is earthy malt. Why people would drink this I am not sure. harrisoni (6947), Ashford, Kent, England

Ooh, one of those new fangled nitro widgets!!! Remember when this was a proper beer and not Exra Smooth. Creamy bitter aroma. It has that typical forced nitro aroma. Some creamy caramel. Thin, bland in mouth. Finish has some maltiness. Bit of faint tingle masquerading as hops. Depressing and poor. So dull and bland. rmussman (906), California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Mar 5, 2007 Sampled in London this summer. Went down very smooth and had a great pour and took a long time to settle. Aroma was nice but dark appearance was key. Flavor was nice with hints of heated spices.

Clear copper-amber brown color, creamy steady off-white head. Nutty hoppy aroma, slightly metallic. Watery, smooth mouthfeel - similar to Kilkenny. Nutty hoppy, ashy flavor. Some faint late bitterness. Hoppy water it is. minky (7), Swansea, Wales does not count | 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 24, 2007 The aroma isn’t the best in the world, partly due to the head. But the beer makes up for this, just make sure the head isn’t so big. Very smooth beer, good dark colour, and tasty flavours. Best smooth in a can. Stopherbomber (111), London, England
