Sep 12, 2004 Bottle. Poured an amber colour, with a thin off-white head. Aroma is caramel and hops. Taste is quite nice (I was expecting to be disappointed), caramel, nutty, malts. Full bodied with a good mouthfeel. This is not a bad beer at all, it is not however a premium beer, unless you’re comparing it to its weaker sister (Tetley’s bitter).

Aug 19, 2004 Bottled. Copper coloured with medium head. A typical Black Sheep taste (maybe, thanks to Yorkshire Squares). Nutty, yeasty and filled with hops.

Jul 28, 2004 Bottle from Sainsburys, Runnymede, Surrey. 500ml. Quite a nice bottled bitter, better than most bitters in the bottle but by no mean great. Nice to see Tetley are producing something other than flat water with shaving foam on top though.....

May 16, 2004 Bottled. Can’t see what is ’premium’ about this? Burnt caramel, dirty copper, sounds rough and ready - it is, not necessarily a bad thing.

Jan 9, 2004 Basic caramel ale appearance, with a bitter and slightly sweet nose. Caramelish bitter beer with a quite dry finish. Overall a reasonable bitter.
