| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 27, 2008 Bottle: Dark brown with a reddish tint. Aroma is malty and sweet, little bits of nuts. Flavor is more malty with light nuts and toffee. Small bits of dark fruit. Pleasant, but forgettable. Damn, I passed on the Jacobite because I thought this was the better of the two at the time. daddyslick (36), Arizona, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 24, 2008 This beer pours to a very dark amber color, has a light smell of roasted barley, tastes like a nut brown ale, something like samuel smith’s nut brown. A medium body that finishes a little bitter, not bad, just enough to keep you coming back for more. A great beer turly southamptonsam (81), New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 23, 2008 Don’t usually like any UK beers, but my favorite beer store pushed it on me. Very pleasant malty brew. Very well-balanced. This could grow on me. austone (1039), Turku; Pori, Finland
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 23, 2008 Dark ruby brown with small beige head. Nose is gently spicy, roasted malts. Same goes for flavor; roasted malts, liquorice and spices, a bit too buttery. Herbal hops in the dry finish. Medium bodied, slightly watery even. Nothing what I expected, and certainly not satisfying. Blom (390), Odense, Denmark
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 20, 2008 Brown with a low head. Woodish aroma with notes of wet soil and oak. Sweet burned and complex flavours of overripe fruits, dark bread, dates and oak. A very fine strong ale!

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 16, 2008 Nutty and sweet aroma. Clear, dark amber pour. Grape, molasses, heavy malt and roasted barley balanced by hops result in a mild sweetness. Full-bodied with a long, sticky finish. Good. travita (1910), Frisco, Texas, USA
