Oct 22, 2003 Clear chestnut body topped by medium beige head. Aroma is malty -- caramel, scotch, lightly earthy. Taste is much the same. Finishes with a mild alcohol burn. Medium watery body. Too malty for what I want in an ESB, but a good beer just the same.

Dec 6, 2003 (Bottle) Pours a brownish-amber color with a large foamy protein enriched beige head, which has great staying power. Interesting flavor for an ESB. Average bitter, but not "extra special".

May 2, 2007 Pours a hazy copper amber with a thin, wispy, spotty-lacing light tan head. Sweet, lightly fruity apple and caramel malty aroma. Body starts with a light fruity toffee sweetness and some earthy caramel and English hops toward the bittersweet finish. Has a slight tartness as well, but not over powering. A pretty interesting brew.

Aug 13, 2004 Sparkling clear, orange ale with a small, fizzy, quickly dissipating head. The aroma holds light notes of molasses, caramel and dark fruit. The flavor is well-balanced. Just a touch tart. Toffee notes, light buttermilk, molasses and dark fruit. Light-bodied with a very lightly creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, lightly bitter, watery finish.

Mar 22, 2004 Bottled, pasteurised. Dark red beer with slight head. Thick caramel base with a boiled sweet back flavour. Sludgy finish, quite powdery.

Apr 29, 2004 Candy apples heartily sweetening the earthy notes...Sweet caramel joins the sugary orgy and buries the growing cherries...Quite promising but a tad sickening after a few sips...

Apr 27, 2003 Dark, mungy brown hue, with close to no head. Smells like an old apple mash, with sugar and apricots. Kicks you at first, with rich maltiness and a hop background. Passes over the back of the tongue with a little too much fruit, but the finish is a nice bitter. Overall a little more syrupy and sweet than I'm into.
