May 19, 2006 Updated: Dec 28, 2006Can. Stiff lasting head. Deep color, deep aroma, lots of flavors. Very malty, and well hopped. Refreshing and charming at the same time. A really good bitter. Me like

Nov 26, 2005 Had one of these at my new favorite pub the Winking Lizard. The bottle date was on or
before Sept 21 05, so the brew was not at it’s best. Nose of wheat, chicory, berries,
heavy spice, vinegar, brown sugar, and dried fruit. Pours a medium murky red amber.
What a head! Creamy, tight, tall and rocky. Fully lasting with very good lacing. The
brew has a nice balance, leaning towards hoppy. A slight metallic taste hinders somewhat.
The middle is warm, followed by a rewarding finish. The thick, creamy, and soft body is
as rich as liquid bread.

Dec 10, 2007 Classic, malty, very nutty, dry, smooth drinking. Pours amber with a barely noticeable head....a relaxing, long day kind of beer. Cliche’ but really good with fish and chips, but you know that already.

Apr 25, 2007 Pours bright amber into an English pint. Off-white congolmerate head leaves slight lacing as it slowly recedes to remain on the surface. Malt aromas. Upfront caramel with a dry, lasting English hop finish. I could easily drink a bunch of these -- actually it’s gone.

Aug 22, 2007 Great caramel aroma and flavor. Good head retention. One of the better Bitters I have had in a while. It would be nice to have this on cask in Britain...I would imagine it would be fantastic.

Oct 6, 2007 Updated: Feb 23, 2009Can. Red/pale brown color and a creamy white head. Nice lacing. Smells of sweet malt, caramel, sweet fruit, citrus, toffee and some floral/spicy notes. Tastes of biscuity/toasted malt, fruit, apricot, citrus, some floral/spicy notes and hop bitterness. A bit dry. Really nice. But the carbonation is a bit too strong. Total score: 3.8
080321: On-tap at The Flying Barrel, Gothenburg. Less carbonated and lower alcohol content. Total score: 3.9

May 10, 2005 Pours a clear orangey copper with a frothy half inch of head. Very little lacing here. Smells fruity and light bitter hops. Spicy, like nutmeg or cinnamon. Some grassy malt in the nose too.
Nice fruity malt up front. A slight pause in the flavor and then the bitter hops kick in for the finish. Grassy and dry. Do I taste Ringwood yeast or is that my imagination? Not alot imparted to the beer from the hops except the biting bitterness. Lightly metallic in the finish. Crisp and dry. Lingering hoppiness in the aftertaste. A very solid special bitter but not enough to knock my socks off. A good change of pace though.
