Aroma is of mild hops. Pours ruby-red brown, with small tan head mostly diminishing, some lacing. Starts with a hoppy bitterness with some burnt sugars. Finishes with a strong coffee-like bitter edge. Palate is oily and carbonated.

Poured a dark brown color with a small light tan head. Aroma of sweet malt with caramel, chocolate and even some dark fruit. Flavor malty, nutty and lightly roasted. Semi-dry finish with a touch of bitterness.

Bottle. Dark brown but somehwat translucent. Nutty armoa. Flavor is dry and somewhat short lasting. A decent beer but nothing overly special.

Light mahogany pour under an airy off-white head with little lacing. Molasses, caramel, toffee and oats along with roasted malt in the aroma. Dry nutty flavor very apparent with a little malt and bittersweet chocolate sneaking in. Finish was fairly dry but not particularly noteworthy. Thin mouthfeel. Overall, a reasonably good beer but not nearly as good as the real thing from Britian so I’ll probably stick with my English mates and chose a Samual Smiths over this one.

Thin pour, maple color, hoppy with a strange nutty flavor. I sort of like this ale, not too bad.

Chestnut brown body with a nice beige head. Nutty aroma, sweet, caramel, buttery, slight chocolate. On the thin and watery side. Flavor was malty, some nuttiness and a little buttery. Not bad but nothing exceptional.

A final thanks to pjk33 for this last brew I’m about to taste. This was a good one. The brew poured a brown with amber leanings, and possessed a minimal off white-brown head. The aroma was lightly nutty with toasted malt…somewhat sweet. I felt like one of my brother’s hippie friends drinking this. Thought I should be out on a camping expedition. Thought it was great stylistically with a toasted malt flavor and nuttiness. The body was well represented with creaminess and solid medium core. A good brown.
