Dark brown, small head. Somewhat hoppy for the style, but has a big dosage of malts also. very heavy palate. Nicely masked considering the lack of sweetness. Some fruits. Well balanced old ale

Oct 1, 2008 bottle marked vintage 2006. pours hazy dark amber with fleeting small head. aroma is malty, slightly hoppy and spicy. tasted alright, maybe a little chocolate in the background, malty. very watery, thin mouthfeel though, which was a definate detraction.

Sep 27, 2008 this is an easy drinking British style old ale. That style has usually demonstrated more barley taste to me. There is some cocoa in here, and a nice finish. A good one to share.

Sep 17, 2008 "2007 vintage" Clear copper color with a frothy tan head. Mild aroma is toffee and rootbeer spice. Medium body with a creamy mouthfeel. Decent flavors of mildly sweet toffee with dry cocoa. Finishes with some spicy dark lager flavors. Not too bad.
