On tap. Came to the table a dark brown with a small white head. Aroma of caramel and nuts. Flavor of caramel malt with a hint of hops. Nothing special.

Dec 22, 2009 Poured from bottle, caramel/copper color with a thin head. Aroma is of a stale bread, not into it. Rather malty, not very hoppy at all. I’ve tried before and haven’t been very impressed, was a gift and while I’m happy for it there are better English ales out there.

Dec 5, 2009 Appearance is a dark copper and clear with minimal head. Sweet malty aroma with tons of caramelly, bubblegum aroma and some toast and rising bread aromas as well. Flavor is not as sweet as the aroma lets on giving the brew a somewhat thin texture. The roasted malts come on a bit stronger during a moderately bitter finish.

Nov 30, 2009 Bottle from New Beer Dist. in NYC. Pours a clear, dark brown with ruby tints and a light, large-bubble, quickly dissipating head. Very slight aroma with hints of sweet malts and brown sugar. Flavor is medium-rich with decent complexity. Some detectable roasted malt character with sweet notes of caramel, earth and hazelnuts. A tad of bitterness on the swallow. A nice, lightly hoppy aftertaste accompanied by some burnt malt. Pretty tasty overall. Would make a nice seesioner.

Nov 29, 2009 Bottle, no BBD found,
has a clear dark pour and is a red-ruby in the glass with red-brown hues at the sides of the glass, produced an off-white one to two finger high head that flattens to a ring and broken cover and left some lacing on the glass,
aromas of toasted and roasted malt, caramel sweetness, hints of chocolate, earth and wood fragrances from Fuggle hops,
flavors are pretty much the same as the aromas with a touch of bread mixed in, has a mild bitterness at the finish,
this drinks starts with a caramel like sweetness and ends dry at the finish,
less than medium mouth feel, light carbonation and easy to drink, a good Mild Ale.
