 BeerandBlues2 (3190), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy tawny with a large, frothy light brown head, mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, toffee), average hop (herbs, grass), average yeast (earth, leaves) with notes of oak, plum, cherry, and cask. Medium bodied, mineral texture, lively carbonation, and a metallic finish. Average duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity, and moderate bitterness.

Nov 6, 2009 Great beer. Pours a cloudy orange, with a slick off-white head. Aroma is typical of a cask UK bitter. Flavor is sweet, with hints of caramel, citrus, some dried fruit, and a touch bready. I’m not picking up as much of the oak as the bottle description would suggest. Palate is medium and smooth. Overall a highly drinkable beer.

Nov 6, 2009 550ml bottle from Country Club Liquors. Murky light brown with a big beige head. Nose is golden raisins, toffee, and a fair amount of oakiness. Flavor is quite fruity with some light bitterness, caramel, and contrasting sweetness. Finish light bitterness.

Nov 2, 2009 550ml bottle, with thanks to Gregis for sharing. Pours a mostly clear lighter brown, iced tea kind of thing, with a decent off-white head. Aroma is dried and ripe dark fruits, with some oak, toffee, and a little caramel. Flavor is more of the same, lighter and a little thinner, but coming off the Marshal Zhukovs, that’s a given. Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing Greg!

Oct 31, 2009 Slightly sour aroma. Oaky. Caramel as well. Fruit tastes. Very sticky beer all around. Interesting. Lots of carbonation. Much sweeter than I’d expect an English ale to be.

Oct 30, 2009 THIS IS A MUST TRY BEER IF YOU CAN FIND IT BUY IT.
Everything about this beer is good from the bottle the pour the flovor. Pours caramel in color with a think med off white colored head. Aroma reminds you of caramel appels, and malts. Thick and creamy flavor sticks to your palate and makes you pumped for the next drink. I think you would like this beer even if not a big beer drinker.
