4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Brown 500ml bottle, best before 18th May 2011, drank 17th Jan 2010. Poured into a vase shaped pint glass.
Good thick tan/off white/cream coloured head, which produced some heavy lacing as the beer sank down the glass. The body was clear and a copper/brown colour, very beery looking!
Malts and molasses win the aroma battle, a sort of rich ’malt-loaf’ with butter lashed on smell.
The taste is also malt dominated, a little sweet at first mouthtouch, then it begin to dry out in the finish with a hop bitterness arriving in the aftertaste.
The alcohol is easy to find and sits well within the malty richness of the brew.

50cl bottle. Pours deep amber with thin but lasting off-white head - medium to thick lacing. Aroma has plenty of dark fruits, raisins, bread, spices, deep caramel, slightly roasted malt, touch of floral hop. Taste is incredibly full, with dark fruit playing a big part alongside thick bready and caramel malt, slight roasted woody notes, warming winter spices, floral and earthy hop flavours near the finish. Great balance - very smooth for such a complex ale, really enjoyed it.

50cl bottle. Dark brown with small, tanned head. Nose : small aromas overall : coffee, nuts, floral, dough, roasted bread. Sip : Oily with medium density and quite creamy. Sweet with coffee notes followed by floral and fruity hops finish. Aftertaste is mild and a bit like sweet coffee and cake aftertaste. Overall : enjoyable and interesting beer. For the moment one of my favorite english ales.
4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Deep amber. The nose is loaded with an array of spices and some dates and nuts. Medium bodied, this attacks the palate with a cascade of spices. Like Christmas cake, but with a savory flair. Balanced with an elegant display of hops.

Nice English strong ale. The flavour is a bit caramelly, but feels a bit pale ale-influented, with a nice bitterness. It has an ABV of 6,3%, wich works great.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
(500mL from LCBO) Poured cool, a dark amber-red with a fluffy tan head that left lots of lacing. Aroma of toasted caramel malts, sweet and a little fruity with light hops. Flavour toffee, caramel, toast, some dark fruit, spicy hops, earthiness and a little yeasty funk. Alcohol a little noticeable on the dry finish. Mouthfeel fairly full creamy with a little booze. Very tasty English Strong.
