| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Nov 8, 2009 The appearance is hazy and murky, a deep dark orange. A slushy white head. Unusually thick; no see-thru.
The smell is an initial sniff of whiskey, then a sweetish, sugary barley aroma. Some mild hops, notes of sweet red wine. The malt is both toasted and sugary-sweet.
The taste has those typically sweet English malts; molasses and toffee. Sweetness is pretty strong, almost saccharine, but does have just enough of a roasted balance.
The feel is thick and milky. Has the feel of a nice English pub ale. Leaves a little milky film. Still, it’s smooth-drinkin’. Overall it’s big and milky, thick and sweet. Not bad but not one I’d crave.
