Jun 21, 2008 2008 Bottle - Old ale in every sense, aroma is pale, flavour is much brighter, old fruit, yeast, some tobacco, this is a pretty thin ale, but slightly enjoyable, this has potential and there were characteristics I liked, maybe I was having an off day but it was just okay this time...

Jun 19, 2008 Dark brown, not quite opaque, with a one finger tan head. Aromas of coffee, nuts, biscuit, and a bit of caramel. Likewise with the taste, though the caramel sweetness came through a little more strongly. Medium body, a bit thin, nice bitterness lingered in the end.

Jun 18, 2008 This is the sixth beer in our June 11th Old Ale Blind Tasting. It finished in 7th place. Courtesy of CigarCityBrew.
Pours brown with half inch tan head. The aroma is weak and has the sense of thinly concocted cherry koolaid with some dustiness around the edges. I also get some licorice and faint roasted malts notes. The taste is thin and Porter like with some burnt malts and dark fruity esters. I also get twists coming from licorice, dates, raisins and a faint amount of pepper. Nice sessionable (for the style) tasting brew.

Jun 16, 2008 From a 12 ounce bottle--Poured a ruddy brown-black body with a thin beige head. Nose of dark malts and spicy burnt wood. Robust without being overly muddy or nutty. Caramel and biscuit profile of many UK brews. Nice work!
