Amber mid brown coloured malty and sweet with a slightly dry bitter lasting finish. johndoughty (2150), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England Aug 25, 2003 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. nigos (620), Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England May 1, 2003 Hoppy light aroma. Deep red hue, decent foamy white head. Rusty malt taste with hop finish. A thin second rate ale. imdownthepub (5089), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Mar 11, 2003 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. Allseeingeye (223), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Oct 25, 2002 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. RichardGretton (3131), Leicestershire, England Sep 7, 2002 Fairly bitter bitter with a smooth finish and a great head. Lacks depth of flavor though. rauchbier (2993), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England Jul 22, 2002 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.
