[201-20070204] 1pt0.9floz. Medium yeast in aroma. Dark amber body with a couple large slow bubbles and pours a big quick light tan head. Flavour is heavy on the barley malt and toasted caramel, almost burnt and a little smokey. Medium body, light raspy or gravelly mouthfeel. Good togetherness, very English.

I certainly didn’t think this beer was spectacular in any way. I was expecting a bit more bitter. As it warmed it became better. Fairly average.

Ehh, not a big fan of this beer. It has a little whang that I didn’t care for. Why drink this high calorie beer when it is only 4.15? Hell if I know.

Since the Young’s "Ram Brewery" has closed and many of the Young’s beers are now considered "retired", my friend Rob and I had a Young’s beer tasting on 2/08/2007 so that we could try all of the Young’s brews we could get our hands on before they’re gone... Tasting Notes: Young’s Dirty Dick’s Ale pours a clear amber color with a frothy off-white/beige head. The carbonation is lively and vigorous like a thunderous rain storm. The aroma is malty and the flavor has toffee and toasted malt undertones to it with a mild level of bitterness. There is also some complimenting creamy/buttery notes in the flavor as well. The finish is dry and mellow. The mouth feel is smooth and creamy. Overall this is a solid example of a nice English bitter... 16.9 oz bottle; 5.2% ABV; 02 May 2007 (L6122 12:29).

Bottle, 5.2%.

Pours a deep yellow-orange with a nice head. Strong fruity aroma of cherry, apple, and toffee is echoed in a sweet malty flavor, again very fruity, plenty of caramel up front, just a bit of Fuggles bitterness on the finish.

It’s a passable beer that defies easy style catagorization -- I’d call it an ESB --- but it’s just not one I’ll miss very badly.

Pours golden amber with a thin, wispy, mostly receding light tan head, Aroma of floral hops, sour orange, and earthy malts. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with soft, lush carbonation. A classic session-ale bitter.
