It was ok. The smell had me a bit worried, as it smelled sickly sweet and of lots of molases. Luckily it didn’t actually taste like its aroma. Overrated beer.

Bottle.WOW, This should not even be Legal! UNREAL! English Strong are just that. A real pleasure to behold. I do prefer to drink this out of a proper pint glass.

I may have to take back my lack of love for English beers. This is a nice English strong ale/old ale style. Really creamy. Malty. Good one.

Lovely red beer. Fruit, cherries, prunes. Bitter sweet, well balanced, very enjoyable. Flowery hops, sweet and sour. A great beer.
