Feb 4, 2004 Medium bodied English ale with an early sweetness that dies away, leaving a dry, smoky, mild dark roasted flavor with moderate bitterness to close out the beer; Sweet and candylike nose; Dark amber color; Tan head has solid retention and lacing

Feb 3, 2004 fairly malty aroma, however very faint malt taste, a bit watery with a bitter finish, not bad, but no reason to go out of your way for it.

Feb 1, 2004 Had this at the Bon Vivant Market Beer Lovers Club on 1-30-04 but I needed a bottle of it to get a more firm handle on this. Pours a ruby brown mix with a foamy tan head. The head looks like tan sea foam. Nose is malt and hops with some sweet notes. Very creamy mouthfeel with a spicy sweet tongue. Malts, some spice, and hops seem to form the basis of the taste of this one. Very drinkable and smooth, but a strong ale at 5%? Good beer and worth trying.

Jan 15, 2004 Poured a deep amber color with ahuge tan head that was very determined to stick around and when it did subside a bit it clung desperately to the sides of the glass. Aroma was very malty with some bready tones as well. flavor was sweet malt to start then took abit of a turn towards a sour bitter finish. Started out very nice but i must say faded in the end. Overall not a bad beer and thanks to harlequinn for the recomendation.

Jan 15, 2004 A very typical strong ale, the taste is reminiscent of old speckled hen, with a bold malt character that is lightly buttery, with a bit of honey but turns sour in the aftertaste. The palate is just too contrasting, and unbalanced.

Oct 25, 2003 Pours a very hazy brown color with a sticky predustdant (yes, I made that word up) head. Aroma is lightly creamy and malty with a very hoppy after-thought. The flavor is very rich like the style dicatates and I can't complain about this one. I put this one off for so long but it ended in pleasure, not regret, praise Brigum!
