Feb 19, 2001 All I can say is WOW, the taste is absolutely amazing! After my 1st experience with this, the search was on to purchase more (thank goodness Merchant DuVin is so accomodating in calling back!) I am waiting patiently for my next bottle. The flavor that arises from this quality ale are amazing, nothing like it I’ve had before, definitely one to keep in my top ten.

Apr 11, 2002 dark red brown color. thin head. tremendous aroma with berries , plums,chocolate, caramel and . Lots of malt present but the spices work well to balance the sweetness leaving this both a malty and sharp beer.the coriander spicing is apparent but subtle enough
to complement the beer without overpowering it. nice smooth mouthfeel and leaves a lingering taste on the tongue much in the way of a well ages scotch whisky.
perfection if not for the price

Dec 22, 2003 Basically this is a perfect beer. It has rich flavors, compliments a fine and leaves no bitter aftertaste. This beer has a real sweetness but not sickeningly so. It also has a dark and spicey undertone. It smells wonderfull and smells fantastic. If you could judge purly on appearence and smell this would be number one. However the flavor is also impresive and not only is it the best UK beer by a longshot, it also is perhaps one of the best berrs ever.

Mar 19, 2005 Updated: Jan 28, 2007Pours brown with a small head that lingers. Nose is strong with elements of raisins, prunes, coffee and nuts. Taste is of coconuts, nutmeg, bananas, coriander, rosted malts and afterhints of pepper and spices. This one’s a great beer and my personal favorite to date!

Jun 17, 2001 Truly outstanding and the best spiced ale I’ve ever had. The aroma is surely exceptional: spice, lightly fruity malt, def molasses. Flavor is def on the sweet side. Not cloying but coats the mouth. Superb balance - everything can be detected, nothing dominates. Masterful creation. Nice reddish brown color, good head. I love the foam that clings all the way down the glass.
