Oct 1, 2006 Overall, I found this to be a solidly above average beer. It has an appealing red tint with a foamy head, pleasant aroma and great taste. It has a smoky quality and slight bitterness with a strong yet balanced aftertaste that is reminiscent of quality barley malt.

Oct 1, 2006 ’Kentish strong ale’. Clear, cherryish red body spiralling with spritzy bubbles. Fruit and a little vinegar in the nose, but flavour-wise an appetising balance of bitter hops (E.Kent Goldings) and a honeyish creaminess in the aftertaste.

Sep 28, 2006 Aroma: spicy hop and crystal malt
Flavour: Bittter with lingering malt and piney hop flavour. Mineral character and candied orange peel as it warmed in the glass.
Appearance: Reddish copper. Head disappears disapointingly quickly.
Mouthfeel: Medium light bodied with assertive carbonation
Overall: A very good best bitter with complex malt and ester profile. Sadly lacking in aroma. Otherwise an outstanding beer

Sep 22, 2006 Bottle, fairly standard brown colour with sweet and malty aroma, little bit bubbly but taste was very rich and fruity and malty, some bitterness and hops, and rather pleasant all things considered.

Sep 11, 2006 Disclaimer: I had this after drinking 5 rather poor beers I found at my local LCBO (all under 2 ratings) so my rating may be skewed.
Dark rusty tan colour with a bubly head. Extremely pleasantly aromatic. Lots of berries and nuts mixed with rosted malts. A slightly sweet nose. Complex taste. Berry with some bitter and a bit of bite. Prue or raisin in there somehwere. Lots of malts. An odd husky smokey and slightly spicey aftertaste. Really good after the other Swill I had been drinking. Thanks to Pintbypint for leaving me this before he headed out West.
