Exceptional flavour, wonderful balance: sweet, bitter, rich. What more can a man ask for? This is the finest British beer I have had in a good while. Furseth (1336), Kungälv, Sweden

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 14, 2008 Bottle. Malty hopypy and creamy aromas with alcohol and spicy undertones. Pours an opaque brownish red coloured beer with a beige foam head. Soft mouthfeel, creamy, some oily texture. Taste is sweet, very hoppy. Some carbonation, spice, aclohol and hoppy finish. Quite tasty although the alcohol content begins to wear thin once the beer has warmed up some.

Great malty chocolate aroma. Tastes is sweet and biscuity which is nicely balanced by a slightly bitter finish. This may be too much beer for some but I love it. This is one of my new favourites.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jan 14, 2008 Beautiful dark brown color with a thin lacey head. Wonderfully drinkable taste in the mouth, that went down smooth. However, this gave way to a hard, bitter aftertaste that was just too much for me. For those who like this style of beer, you will probably think this is a winner. For me, I would only take it on tap when sitting down with a jolly Brit. fonefan (11888), VestJylland, Denmark

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 3, 2008 Pours a stunning deep mahogany colour with lasting creamy head. Aroma is of alcohol, brown toasty bread and dark sour fruit. Feels lovely on the palate with a medium sweet malty body. Hints at some chocolate but then it goes before the subtle hops. Flavour lingers for a few seconds. Very drinkable.
