May 2006 - Thanks to eaglefan538 for this one. Beer poured with nice looking head which vanished in the time it took me to walk to the next room and back. The aroma was buttery, fruity and a little metallic...woulda scored higher if not for metallic aroma which was unpleasant. Flavor was buttery sour, caramel and toffee...with a perfect level of bittering. Mouthfeel was sticky and carbonated just right. This was a nice beer. I like these English ales!

I tried this beer on August 1, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a very dark brownish red, with a thin tan head. The aroma was caramel malt, and wood. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, creamy, and medium carbonated. The flavour was caramel malt, some spice, and a little bit of hops.

Aug 25, 2008 Pours a dark reddish-brown, with a very large foamy head that stands up. Smell is malty, sweet and toasty. Taste is a bit dissapointing, burnt malt and some sort of soapiness in the background, not great in my opinion.

Aug 15, 2008 Appears an auburn/brown with a small tan head that dissipates in no time. The trademark caramel/toffee of the style is present with some fruit and nut nuances. Palate delivers more of the same with nutty malt dominating early to give way to some piney notes and medium hop bitterness rounding out the back palate.

Aug 13, 2008 Bottle sample, TFOB ’08. Great malty aroma, lots of spice and some alcohol. Taste follows, more chewy malt, strong ESB like hops and a roasty finish. Dark orange/brown a good sized white head. A nice sipper that tastes stronger than it is - cannot wait to get my hands on more of these.
