pours a nice amber color with very little head. scent of burnt roast and barley with some fruit. taste is of a burntness right away and then gives way to a carmel and fruit taste. a decent bitter, but not one i would purchase again.

Clear dull red, thin head. Very fruity aroma with some caramel and strawberry. Rather astringent in flavor with sour malt and dirty earthy notes. Pretty bad.

Bottle, a very enjoyable beer! Bottle, poured dark amber, with minimal head. Aroma of sharp grains and malts, flavor of an exquisite nature, something a bit biting and a bit smooth. Bitter. Very nice. AN enjoyable beer that I shall purchase again!

Thin head of fine bubbles. Decent carbonation. Aroma of candied fruit, sweet caramel malts and some light roasted grains. Color is a very nice copper. Moderate bitterness. Nice roasted grain backbone that leads to a little bit of dryness. Moderately bitter finish with some burnt toasts and a bit of lingering mettalic aftertaste. A decent ESB.
