FatPhil (5970) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - JUN 10, 2007
500ml Bottle. Deep red colour, fizzy to feed a thin head. Slightly antiseptic sweet smell, not offensive. Also a sour maltiness. Light nutty brown taste, plenty of malt once the bitterness fades. Leaves malt in the mouth. Spoilt only by beig too subtle and almost weak.

JLAudio (282) - Crestwood, Illinois, USA - MAY 21, 2007
Even though this is a very clean uncomplicated beer, it is lacking any punch whatsoever. The color is pure amber with a slight and I mean SLIGHT aroma attributed to the hops. I did however find this easy to drink, and it kept me content throuighout the 6-pack. Does go great with a Black & Tan, Guiness/Bass combo....can’t beat that on St. Patty’s Day!

Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - MAY 1, 2007
Amber color, OK head. Malty, fruity aroma. The flavour has the same notes and it’s an uncomplicated beer without anything special.

klhaggart (2) - Fremont, Michigan, USA - FEB 11, 2007 does not count
Bottle or tap. Still one of my favorites. This nutty flavored brew leaves a fine after taste with each sip. Sits well on the palate.

berkshirejohn (2834) - Bracknell, Berkshire, ENGLAND - JAN 31, 2007
A subtle and well-balanced beer, better than the sum of its parts. Yes, it’s slightly nutty, slighty hoppy, slightly malty, slightly bitter - but that’s the good thing, all of these components are brought together so well.

Hoser (365) - Cowtown, Alberta, CANADA - JAN 3, 2007
UPDATED: OCT 8, 2007 Had this numerous times and in a 500ml bottle/ slightly nutty, slight hoppy, mostly boring. Page 40 of MJ’s Classic Brews only 480 to go

spporras (259) - FINLAND - NOV 1, 2006
UPDATED: NOV 2, 2006 (Can BB 03/07) Fruity, slightly toffee and malty aroma. Amber colour, clear and average size, white, very slightly lasting head with good lacing. Fruity, slightly toffee, malty and very slightly bitter flavour. Softly carbonated and medium-bodied palate with a metallic hint. 19/10/06

johndoughty (2814) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - OCT 29, 2006
Yellow and quite malty.Fairly full bodied and left some lacing. I cant really remember cask Bass in its heyday and I am sure this is nothing like it but it was still a reasonable if uninspiring bitter.
