Mar 18, 2006 Updated: Apr 14, 2006Bottle, 500ml. Average diminishing head. Dark black appearance. Fantastic aromas of malt and citrus. Didn’t get any "banana notes" from it though. A malty, somewhat sweet taste with a light bitter but very fruity finish. Light carbonation. A damm good ale.

Mar 15, 2006 Bottle poured a clear ruby brown with a small diminishing brown head. Aromas of roasted malt, nuts, a hint of spice and some vinous notes. Palate was medium bodied. Flavors of roasted malt, bakers chocolate, and a bit of fruitiness with a smooth, lingering dry finish.

Mar 7, 2006 One of the better beers we sampled at a beer tasting at The Fresh Market. IT went really well with the mushrooms wrapped in philo dough. It poured a dark rich brown and had a little sweetness with a nice dry finish. I will be trying this again soon.

Mar 3, 2006 Black, lets just a touch of light through. Creamy, dark brown head. Lasts a while. Plum, raisen, brown sugar aroma. Malty, full bodied. More plum, generally fruity flavor. Just a touch of spice and sweetness. Very nice. A slight lingering aftertase. Overall a very enjoyable English beer.

Feb 12, 2006 Poured a very deep blackish amber color, hardly any head and what was there dissapeared on me. Smells quite malty to me. The taste is overly sweet yet has a clean finish which is a plus in my book. Its ok, but I think it is rated quite high for what it is.
