Oct 3, 2008 Originally tasted at the Toronto festival of beer, my notes weren’t great so re-rating this evening: Appearance: Red/brown with a slight but determined head. Aroma: Malt and that particular hop I don’t overly like (satz??) however it seems quite fitting into this aroma. Flavour: Caramel, malt, toffee with a nice sticky honey finish. Great beer. Delighted we can get it here in Ontario.

Oct 3, 2008 Dark auburn with a nice tan head. Semi-sweet aroma and a flavour that was malty with a tinge of sweetness. Nice hoppy finish.
A damn good ale. Full bodied yet easy drinking.

Oct 1, 2008 Great straightforward balanced dark ale with some nice body, cake spice, amd some resiny hops. Very easy to drink yet fairly substantial.

Sep 30, 2008 Deep auburn colour with a frothy almond-coloured head. The nose is fresh and malty with hints of chocolate and raisin. The body is deep and smooth with a heavy malt sweetness. A lingering, nicely balanced hop bitterness permeates the finish. One of the nicest ales I’ve had in some time. The balance is something you don’t find often in dark American strong ales.

Sep 29, 2008 Had this on tap at The Plough in London on 12/31/07 in an Adnams pint glass. Amber color and 1 finger off white head. Toasted malts, hops and bitters to the nose. Malt, grass, hay and bitters at first followed by a the same with a strange astringent taste. Slightly watered down body. Decent at best. Went ok with fish & chips but couldn’t stand alone.

Sep 23, 2008 Bottle @ Smokeless Joe. Dark brown amber with creamy tan head. Mellow, slightly hoppy aroma. Gentle coppery scents. Gentle soft, velvety mouthfeel. Sweet malty entry. Alcohol punch in background and finish, some hop to keep it going. Straightforward and tastes stronger than it is, easy to sip.

Sep 21, 2008 Thick, cloudy, strong and straightforward. Heavy, malty, not too sweet and has enough body to handle the alcohol. Woody, a bit of dark fruit, licorice and a bit of salt with a lingering bitterness at the back of the tongue. Pretty well-made, but a bit flat and uninteresting.
