2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cloudy amber color; generous head, compact. Aroma of caramel and sugar, lightly soapy. Ordinary body strength; it has caramel flavor, and unfortunately also a metallic touch, that makes the final a bit harsh; a high yeast presence also makes it a bit astringent; there are also traces of sweet liquorice and vegetables. Nothing spectacular here.

3.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours amber-brown with gigantic sediment (rice-grain sized and some smaller flakes) and a decent, lingering light-brown head. Nose is very weak and generic to brown ales. Flavor is decent, however, with brown sugar, slight roastiness, modest bitter hops, and some maple coming out on the front, fading to sticky pine and caramel. Finish continues to be sticky. Decent stuff, even if a bit pedestrian.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at home. Hazy dark orange to coppery color, thin off-white head. Aroma of ripe fruits, aged malts and spices. Flavor is very well balanced with a nice sweet base of ripe fruits and strong malts, backed by a nice spicy hop profile. Some complex aged character, although it is still young. A hint of licorice in the finish. Very full palate. Nice brew.

The label says "Extra Strong," not "Extra Good." Pours dark opaque amber but the head fizzles and leaves with utmost haste. Smells very nutty and yeasty, very English, actually, nothing great but curious. Starts dry and metallic before the malts bring along a boozy sweetness. Veers into English Brown Ale territory for a while, nutty and laced with dried apples, before fading into a doughy, fairly warm finish. Decent, but excessively hot for an under 8% brew. (5/4/09)
