I have heard of this brewery but this was the first product of their’s that I have had the opportunity to try. Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle the beer poured a nice mahogany color with a huge creamy tan head. There was a faint bitter malt aroma. The flavor had a nice full malt presence that faded to bitter on the aftertaste. This beer has very strong English characteristics. Nice if you like the style.

Rich, carmel malt aroma. Toasted bread, nuttiness in the nose as well. Pleasant hop sharpness followed by a full malt backbone. Carmel, honey and toffee flavors. Fantastic bitter/sweet palate. Not a real complex beer, and even though a bit watery it is still a satisfying brew.

Amber copper ale with a off white head and light malt aroma. Nice roasted bitter nut taste with rich mouthfeel.

Chestnut brown with a quickly fading head. Sweet malt aroma. Flavor is more pronounced than the aroma would get you ready for. The flavor is malty sweet, but balanced by a hop dryness. Body is a little thin. Fair.

Dark amber color with a decent hill of foam on top. Smell is faint sweetness and mostly malt. The flavor however is much more noticable sweet, and has a banana flavor as well. The palate is rather smooth, and not very hoppy, but still respectable.

Bottle pours reddish brown, copper hues, small frothy white head, decent lacing, with effervescent carbonation.   Sweet aroma, rather fruity too.   Apples/Pears up front, followed by malts, but I am also getting a pungent glue (like that used for fly tying) or quick setting cement flavor as well.   Medium body and mouthfeel.   Finishes with more of that glue/quick cement.   WTF?!?!?!

Tasted from the bottle: nice brown color. It is quite a sweet beer, but also quite bitter (finish). Lots of malt in de body.
