Dec 24, 2008 12oz bottle. Deep brown amber color, looks filtered and/or fined. Sweet dark fruit aroma. Dark malty taste, very smooth on the palate. Sandy hop balance to the rich chocolate malts. Never really realized that this was an Old Ale. To me the taste is of a true dark English Mild and a roasty Porter, mixing some of the best elements from both. Excellent session beer or sipper. Classic.

Dec 14, 2008 Sweet and sticky malty beer. Tastes of caramel. Has a somewhat thin mouthfeel - may have been a little too cold when I sampled it down at the stuffed sandwich. No head at all to speak of.

Nov 29, 2008 Well this one finished a little tour of English beers we took this weekend. Brown/amber pour. Tan head that faded rather quickly. Aroma is very malty with some hints of caramel, toffee, dates, raisins and syrup. Flavor is nutty, spicy, toffee, caramel and a slight hints of hops. Not bad at all.

Nov 26, 2008 Poured a dark brown with tannish highlights and head that did not linger. Smells of malts, raisins, dark bread and fig.... Tastes of nuttiness, roasted malts, hops, and spices. A good beer to stock in my pub fridge for a night of darts with the guys.

Nov 26, 2008 The aroma is malts (sweet), booze, and dark fruit. The appearancew is an attractive red/brown, minimal head. The flavor is sweet malt, caramel and toffee. The palate was also sweet, but with a nice subtle touch of bittering hops. Thick mouthfeel. This reminded me somewhat of a porter or a stout. Nice beer overall.

Nov 20, 2008 Nice amber pour with a lasting cream colored head. Malt, peaty aromas. Tastes similarly with some toffee and smoke. Minimal fruits to me. Pretty dry and clean finish. A little thin, but very drinkable. Not one of those blast you in the face, good and worth trying.
