| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 22, 2007 Looks descent but is quite fizzy for a strong ale. It has a quite nice malty flavour with some fruity esters and an ok bitter end. Unfortunately there is a bit of a sort of alcoholic, fusel-kind of taste and aroma. It really sets this beer back!

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 9, 2007 Dark amber colored, little light brown head. Aroma is bitterly hopped with caramel and hints of licorice. Medium bodied. Flavor is not as strong as aroma, still hoppy flowers and some licorice tones come up. Some lemon in aftertaste with metal. Basic Neame-product. MesandSim (5930), London, Greater London, England
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Feb 2, 2007 A Mes rate: 50cl bottle from some random offie. Typical Shepherd Neame, tastes pretty much like anything else they brew. Lifeless and bland. Usual toffee aroma and flavour. Maybe a little more sweetness than usual. Fairly malty. Nothing special at all. flemmingwillum (239), København S, Denmark
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 28, 2007 A standard english ale-appearance, but this time with a lousy head. Is has a nice fruity hoppiness in the aroma with notes of caramel and banana. The flavor is no big surprise - again a standard ale with an easyliy caramelly and hopped flavor. The aftertaste isn’t any good surprise either - the only positive thing is the obvious hops. I´t is a dry beer and could have been better without the much carbonation. rauchbier (3002), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England
