Has a thinnish head with little lacing but doesn’t detract from being a real mouthful of decent English ale. Dogbrick (2855), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2004 On cask at the St. James Tavern in London. Dark amber/brown color with a medium thin light tan head. Thin and quick lacing. The aroma is rather fruity, with hints of caramel and malt. Medium-bodied and very smooth and smokey. Flavors of caramel, grape, and roasted malt. The finish is silky and long. This is a solid beer that can be found in many pubs/taverns in London. mwesth (279), Skovlunde, Denmark

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 7, 2004 Dark red with a dry, lingering head. The roasted malt is r e a l l y apparent, a bit too much. A littel bit too sweet to. Sounds critical, but it's really a very decent beer. jgb9348 (2495), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Apr 3, 2004 Dark amber coloured body with a dense, thick, creamy off-white head. Aroma of vanilla and caramel with some malt background. Medium-bodied; Creamy mouthful with some roasted malt and strong sweetness which lasts a long time. Aftertaste shows some sweetness and some balanced tastes. Overall, a decent beer...not my favourite for the style, but a good beer. I had this on cask at the Old Toad in Rochester, New York.

Poured a chocolate brown colour with a thick frothy white head. The aosma was faint. I caught little more than floral hints. The taste was more malty than anythong. Roasted barley. A bit of a smoked taste. A hoppy finish. I feel that it;s too dry for my taste. I don't think it waas worth the investment, but I would buy it if it was a little cheaper.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 29, 2004 Totally clear ruby red color with foamy off white head. Aroma is malty, slightly sweet, caramel and vanilla evident, dry with a very faint sourness that is somewhat citrusy. Flavor has toasted malts, subtle sweetness, creamy, slightly nutty, with a touch of bitternes in the finish. Mouthfeel is al ittle thin. A good brew, not great, but maybe would make a good session beer.
