Jul 23, 2005 From the bottle pours a hazy deep amber with a thick frothy off white head that keeps a respectable cap till the bottom of the glass.
Aroma of yeasty (bottle conditioned duh) alcohol with woody and raisin tones.
Flavour is roasty malt with a bitter finish and lingering hoppy aftertaste. Not my one of my fav. Bitters but a nice bottle conditioned example.

Jun 21, 2005 this is a very nice bitter ale, due to bottle condition i think. murky copper colored with a thin, regular off-white head. aroma: yeast, malty, bit caramel, citrus and flowers maybe. taste: yeast, citrus(grapefruit), roasted malt, gooseberries, sourish and bitter. finish is quite long and bitter. thin/medium body. nicely balanced, tasty ale.

Sep 10, 2007 Cask @ OL i Aarhus. Pours a red amber with practically no head. Aroma is oaky and earthy with a little caramel. Mouthfeel is light with low carbonation. Flavour begins sweet then some caramel and a nice bitter finish mixed in with a long oaky aftertaste. Nice!

Nov 19, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy redish amber with a huge light tan head. Aroma is hops with a few notes of grain. Fullbodied and creamy on the palate. Hops taste is first on the tongue and predominate flavor. Not too bitter on the finish. This is a nice crisp ale that can add balance to a meal, especially slightly spicey dishes. Washes down well with chicken fajitas.

Aug 7, 2006 OHanlons Royal Oak.
Pint bottle.
Unknown bottling, best before date of 02/05, gustated 08/06.
Medium Pour in an English Pint Glass.
Poured a hazy brownish amber with a thick fluffy offwhite 1 inch head. Slowly diminishing 1/8 inch head remained, with excellent lacing.
Smelt of molasses and a hint of candied cherries and cognac.
Taste begins with dry smokiness and toffee malt, with a quick hop kick. Then an unpleasant sourness peeks in for a fraction of a second to let place to a body of molasses sweetness and fermented dark berries, as it all dies down slowly in a earthy well balanced malty and biting hoppy finish. Mouthfeel was light and lively carbonation.
Overall, a pleasing bottle conditioned slightly aged English Pale Ale that barely survived 6 months past the freshness date, as indicated by the slight sourness, but taste was otherwise well rounded. Will be revisited with a fresher bottle.
