Apr 26, 2007 Updated: Oct 31, 2008Like most nitros it sure looks nice filling up that glass. A pure white slowly turns to a amber red and keeps its head throughout. A sweet and smoky aroma gives way to the milkshake like palate. Pretty good beer, but I guess I’m not huge on the style.

Apr 25, 2007 Draft; not much aroma some cream, some sweetness. Very creamy appearance. Creamy palate as well. Flavor was pretty much what was expected in a bitter. Pretty good style; probably because of the very good mouthfeel.

Apr 24, 2007 Not looking forward to this, the last two bitters I had did not impress me. I’m thinking I don’t care for this style. Nice 12 classy bottle, not your norm. Pour is definately darker than the ubiquitous american beers. Very nice aroma, like candy or something. No head on the pour just a ring around the inside edge of the glass. The taste is gentlemanlike and friendly, a very acceptable brew! This really had much better carbonation that the other bitters I’ve tried. Has a roasty laid back flavor that is not too harsh on the taste buds. With each drink there is a mild to medium bitterness that builds on the back of the throat. This is in no way like the more oppressive bitterness I have detected in other bitters. Just goes to show, don’t judge a beer by it’s style! Much better than Tetleys English Ale and Boddingtons Pub Ale. This beer is leaps and bound better than those two! If I didn’t know better, I would have classified this as an american lager because of it’s smoothness and tingly carbonation!

Apr 21, 2007 Hoppy aroma. Pours tea colored with a fluffy head. Well hopped and moderately bitter with lightly roasted malts., not very complex. Unremarkable finish.

Apr 16, 2007 Draft. Aroma of sweet cream and some sweet caramel malt. Flavor is pretty much the same, very creamy, like bottingtons or guiness. It was alright, but could have been better.

Apr 15, 2007 Draft, Nitrogen charged. Faint aromas of light coffee, milk chocolate, herby hops and dough and cobwebs for the yeast. It had a creamy off white head which was fully lasting with excellent lacing. Color was clear brown. Flavor was lighty bittersweet with a moderately sour short finish. Palate was medium bodied, creamy and had a soft carbonation
