4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
500ml bottle, best before 16JAN10. Mahogany, reddish brown color. soapy tan head. Big fruit cake aroma. Complex malt character. Light caramel, toast, toffee, nutmeg, with some oak. Flavor is deep earthiness, green hop bitterness, hidden malt sweetness is placed second in flavor to the hop. Finishes with a hint of chocolate malt. this beer is the cured for tghe common cold, when an Imperial Stout is not available. Cheers.

3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. A nice red color with a creamy tan head. The aroma is slightly malty and nutty, but fairly tame overall. A nice smooth beer with a good, mildly lingering hop bite on the end. The quality of the malts give it a nice toffee, roasted flavor. The balance of the initial malt hit with the ending hop flavor is really nice. Quality and a superb example of the style.

ahh the ultimate inviting smell that is a good english ale, very malty smell. just a bit of head that fades quickly, a beautiful deep red colour. tastes like caramel and slightly bitter and dates, it is pretty carbonated... pretty good a strong percent and tasty bitter, might get again but it tastes alot like wellington dark on tap only sweeter and alot more expensive.

Bottle. Pours clear, scarlet-brown, with a one finger biege head, good lacing. Malty and fruity aroma, like pears and spice. Medium body, velvety smooth. A little bitter up front, then it gets sweeter, caramel and nuts, finishes with a mellow bitter, with an edge of pine and citrus. Drinkable and balanced.

Deep amber color with foamy, not white head that dissipates rather quickly. Color is extremely impressive. Smells of malt and alcohol. Tastes of very rich malt. Great beer.
