Pours a deep red with a tiny head that doesn't disappear halfway through. Aroma is dominated by malt, there's very little hop aroma, surprising for a British bitter. Flavor is sweet biscuit with a touch of bitterness and some butterscotch.

Copper. Light tan head. Smell is weak hops and weaker malt; taste is the same except for an unexpected somewhat winey citrus bite. Disappointing and odd.

Clean amber color. Very light bread aroma. Simple body, very light caramel. Boring.

Bottled. At the Lamb, Leadenhall Market. Deep amber colour with a medium to thick tan head. Wild bitter hop aroma with decent bitter hop finish. Any texture in the palate was lost in the silkiness of the cask Winter Warmer. My fault. Apols.

Forgettable beer. Pours a nice orangy color. Did not really have a good time drinking this as the after taste was quite harsh. Sorry folks, but the best thing about this is the bottle and the name. AC/DC Dirty Dicks...Done Dirt Cheap. Dirty Dicks...Done Dirt Cheap

Copper/amber with a thin head. Nutty, malty nose with subtle hints of British hops. Taste is sweet overall with just a touch of bitterness at the finish. Lighter bodied than I expected, but drinkable and refreshing.

Bottle pours deep amber, almost copper color with very little head. The aroma is of biscuit malt and some hop. The flavor is of biscuit malt and a bit of a hop bitter in the far end. The palate is medium rich. Overall, this could be a good session beer, but not one I would look for.

Clear red-brown coloured. Malty aroma and flavour. Not really complex, but quite smooth.
