Oct 25, 2003 Cloudy mahogany pour with almost no head. Toffee, sweet malts and a bit of hops are present in the nose. Sharp and contrasting flavors of sweet malt and caramel. A bit overdone for my palate.

Sep 22, 2003 Bottled, Pasteurised. A brown amber beer with a thick creamy head. This is all in the malt, sweet and toffee like, a little over boiled and tinny. A pleasant warming alcohol glow, but is let down by the bottling process.

Sep 4, 2003 Dark brown with a thin tan head; aroma is predominantly malt; the taste is of malt with a little bitterness in the finish, but overall the taste is pretty ordinary - something you might expect from a grocery store beer

Aug 19, 2003 poured with a smallish tan head, dark red in color, clear. Aroma was nice: malty, sweet, with caramel, vanilla, and dark fruits notable. Flavor, however, left much to be desired. It was slightly malty, maybe a bit of caramel, but pretty one-dimensional. An alright brew, but nothing exceptional in my opinion.

Aug 13, 2003 One of my favorite styles of beer.When poured, this beer had a medium sized tan head with fine-medium bubbles.There was carbonation observed and the body was dense.The hue was reddish brown and this beer left a fair amount of lacing on the sides of my glass.The nose was that of alcohol, malt and spices.The flavor was bitter, dry, mild and also alcohol.The mouthfeel was smooth and light-medium bodied.All in all, a very fine English Strong Ale in my opinion.

Aug 12, 2003 This brew poured a small head pf fine to medium sized off white mostly diminishing bubbles that left a weak lacing and a hazy dark brown colored body behind. The aroma is exquisite in its malt caramel goodness. The flavor is smooth initially then finishes in a dry mild hop spicey bitterness. THe flavor is a very nice yet thin malt hop caramel mix. All said, it was a fine addition to our buz for the evening! A very interesting brew it is.
