This bottled brew poured a large sized head of fine to medium sized mostly lasting off-white colored bubbles that left behind a good lacing and a dark orange brown colored yeasty semi-transparent body. The aroma was mediumly hopped with a good caramel note. The mouth feel was initially mildly harsh with a medium hoppy feeling that surprisingly disappears in the finish rather quickly leaving behind only a mild hop aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of mild caramel mixed with hops and a fair amount of malt keeping the bite down.

Cask @ Charlie’s bar. I can’t believe how smoky this place really is. I had no enjoyment at all with this beer, and that is a petty. Really think they should make this place smoke free, so we can actually taste the beers that are being served. Small creamy beige head that mostly diminished. Fair display of lacework. Somewhat cloudy amber color. Aroma was killed by cigarette smoke, what I could pick up was light fruit, hint of toasted malt, light floral and citrus notes as well. Over the palate the hops becomes a bit more evident. Light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation and light dry texture. Light bitter and sweet flavor in fairly good balance. Light dry and bitter finish.

Bottle. Pours with quite the massive head of foam, taking considerable time to retreat into the shiny bronze beer. For an British ale, this has a remarkably American aroma, with a citric hoppy aroma, if a little soapy. But this drinks with a distinctly European tilt, sweet like tea, and thinner than what most American beer geeks would consider acceptable. Drinkable and flavorful for sure, but defiantly "old school". Hey, I like it. (#3745, 11/19/2009)

(Bottled) Clear, dark amber with a small, but lacy head. Toffee-malty, lightly vinous aroma. Lightly grainy, toffee-ashy-malty flavor with mild bitterness and some dry oaky notes. Medium-bodied, medium-carbonated palate. A decent, but not very interesting brew.

Best before July 23, 2009. Murky copper color with a large, rocky head. Aroma of sweet malt and a dry, earthy hop. Fruity taste, with a bit of apricot and apple. Qutie bready along with some yeast. Light floral hop finish. Quite nice.
