Highly carbonated which made it seem like drinking with a knife against your tongue.Reasonable appearance but any trace of flavour had been taken away by the effects of a blow torch. Why did they bother.

Hoppy light aroma. Deep red hue, decent foamy white head. Rusty malt taste with hop finish. A thin second rate ale.

Bottled, Pasteurised. Browny red with beige big head. Unfortunate overstewed flavours like trying to get the last drop from a teabag. Bitter but cooked malt. Not a good bitter.

Kinda red colored. Big fat head like me. Not really lacy. Definative caramel aroma. Caramel taste with hints of butter or toffee. Not very complex and a bit off balance. Dry finish without a hoppy bite. Not as good as the English ale.

Fairly bitter bitter with a smooth finish and a great head. Lacks depth of flavor though.

Bottled. Pale chestnut coloured, good head and moderate condition. Caramel dominates the aroma, with hints of toffee and malt in the mouth and a bland dry finish.
