Aug 2, 2003 Brown body with a quickly dissipating tan head.
Smells malty and butterscotch-like.
Hoppy, sweet with a metal note. DMS is obvious but acceptable for the style. Lingering bitterness. Weird balance and flavors.
Smooth but a little cloying body. Body is thin too.

Jul 28, 2003 Poured invitingly, dark brown and well-topped. There's a pleasantly warm, roasty nose. The flavor is initially sweet, and light-bodied, but finishes a bit acidic and mellow, not at all what the aroma would suggest. Turns out this is a lightly flavored, mellowly hopped beer, not the heavy warmer the look and smell would lead you to believe. Still good.

Jul 10, 2003 Hard to figure how this qualifies as English Strong Ale, as its 5% ABV, but o well. Aroma is pleasent with notes of currant and light hops. Beer pours nice thick off white head that is retained. There is some moderate lacing. Flavor is initially malty sweet and the finish is lightly hoppy/bitter and dry. Nice ale.

Jul 7, 2003 Pours a deep amber color, with a moderate antique white head. Aroma is seriously malty and powerful. Light estery fruitiness, english hops, and lots of malt. Flavor is strong and decidedly british. Carbonation is british, which seems to be slightly lower and smoother than american brews. Somewhat spicy hop finish, with a nutty aftertaste. Smooth for it's presence.

Jun 21, 2003 Redish Brown, with a big sturdy head. Sweet nuts aroma (Heh Heh "sweet nuts" Heh Heh) Initially tastes almost exactly like a Fullers ESB, but I couldn't do a side by side tasting to be sure. Mellow malt flavor at the front, then a nice hop finish. Not bad, all in all.

Apr 27, 2003 Mildy bitter with some nice fruity notes. As it warmed it gained a slight chalky-ness. Overall, it was soothing and mellow.

Apr 14, 2003 Sweeeeet and sour, malty as heck, a wonderfully complex old ale - that's not too strong. Beautful and clear. Sooooper long hop tingleyness.

Mar 30, 2003 Tastes like it is bottle conditioned and oak aged. Malty, woody and caramely. Slightly smoked and not very bitter at all. I could drink this one again and again. Lokks like a nice ruby port ... dark and warming. Very interesting combination of hops ... must be the Northdown. I gotta homebrew with summa them hops.
