May 25, 2005 I liked this one more than the ESB from ADnams....Trying saying that feckin name 3 times real fast. Bitter malts....caramel and some chocolate aftertaste...not too bad.

May 25, 2005 Bottle at the Royal Mile, Des Moines. Pours a sorta darkish brown with a thin beige head. Nose of sweet malts, some bitterness is detected. A little thin on the mouthfeel....flavors of caramel malts, and slight hints some choco-malts too. The hop bitterness comes through in the end along at the end. Eh, it’s ok.

May 6, 2005 Pours with the appearance of iced tea and an ample beige head. Nice lacing around the glass. Aroma is straight malt with the stereotypical English bitterness. Palate is thin, but not too watery. Taste is a major malt infusion that is subdued by slightly tangy hops. Finish is the aforementioned English bitter. Nice beer, one that I would revisit.

Still a deep red color. Malt still dominates the flavor but the hops are much more defined. Some toffee in the aroma as well. Lightly bitter flavor with a sweet finish. Raisins and toffee abound with some fairly citric hops. Still too fizzy for my taste but an enjoyable beer nonetheless.

Apr 26, 2005 A bit more carbonated and sweeter than I prefer but not a bad brew. I was not able to appreciate the hops past the sweetness of this beer.

Apr 23, 2005 Pours medium brown with some red highlights and thin beige head. Aroma of sweet malt. Medium to high carbonation. Flavor of caramel malt, and slight hints of vanilla and cocoa. The hop bitterness is considerably higher than I expected, but appreciated. A little dry, but overall not too bad.

Apr 21, 2005 Bottle: Nice deep red colored brew with a small rocky head and medium carbonation. Sweet strawberry nose also band aid and medium malt traces. Tastes fruity with a somehow astringent bittness, way to much carbonation makes it hard to taste other flavors. The more you try you get a medium long lasting unripe peppers taste. It seems as this beer is still searching for it*s direction.
