bottle. Nice aroma of malts. Had a robust color for a bitter being a bit darker for the style. Didn’t taste like it looked or smelled...very hoppy taste and was a bit watery. Had a very dry after taste that I didn’t care for but not a bad brew.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle from Sams in Chicago. Pours a dark red colored body with a thick light brown head. The aroma is very nice; strawberries, currants, toasted malts, and some metal. The taste was also quite good; a sweet and natural berry flavor, some dry toasted malts, a hint of caramel and chocolates, and overall a nice full mouthfeel. A slight bitterness in the finish. A very enjoyable beer. Perfect for this style.

Jul 27, 2008 Bottle, Tesco, Helensburgh. Poured a very dark ruby colour with a lightly frothy off white head which dissipated to a slim un’ . Aroma was quite malty with some damson and hazelnut notes. Quite a roasty toasty flava with a dash of urbs. Bitterness was well balanced. Liked this.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle- Dark amber brown with nice clingy foam head. Aroma of sweet malts and mild hops. Caramel and malt body with some roasted bitterness towards the finish. Another that was a little week in the body but a decent drinker overall.
