HazelRah (276), Summerland, British Columbia, Canada Dec 7, 2006 Lemony, fruity aroma. Flavour complex and balanced ranging from overripe apricots and a wide swathe of malt notes to a heartily bitter finish. sunevdj (1765), Copenhagen OE, Denmark Dec 6, 2006 Fountain of foam as I opened the bottle. Pours a mostly clear light brown head with a slightly tanned head. Lacings. Quite malty. Lots of caramel. Not so big hopsprofile. Medium bodied. High carbonation. Sour, bitter and slightly buttery finish. Not so good; nice bottle though. nhewitt (7), Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada does not count Nov 29, 2006 Not the most amazing of bitters, to be sure, but still enjoyable. It’s for drinking (while looking at the label), not analyzing - you won’t be overly impressed but also will have no problem drinking it. Black Sheep has many other finer offerings, but one buys this for the novelty factor, right? I keep an empty around myself... bergface (57), madison, Alabama, USA Nov 28, 2006 I must say that the bottle is quite clever, and the beer is more than drinkable. This is not among my favorite British ales, but it is a hearty medium bodied offering, with a bit of caramel sweetness and a bit of a roasted flavor. Slightly bitter, and quite tasty. walleye (876), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA Nov 26, 2006 had this on tap at the Berkley Front earlier this summer. poured a nice amber with a nice sizes light tan head that left some nice lacing. aroma got some caramelized malts with some hops, a bit of fruitiness and that is all folks. flavor, not much going on here did get some malt and hops, has a bitter finish which would be the only thing going for it. destroye7 (299), Melbourne, Australia Nov 24, 2006 500 ml bottle. Good carbonation. Brown-red color. Bitter taste. Nice but a bit disapointed for a bitter. Leaves you with the bitter after taste. Medium-dry. kevd193213 (477), Hope Valley, Rhode Island, USA Nov 23, 2006 My personal favorite English ale. Nice caramel flavor. Foamy, slightly creamy head. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA Nov 18, 2006 Hazy dark amber body with a medium frothy off-white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Sweet caramel flavor with a slightly metalic aftertaste.
