Pour is a nice looking chestnut with a large tan head. Aroma is very bready, malty and dark fruits. Flavor is a nice mix of molasses and dark fruit with a little candi sugar in there. Very pleasing to all the beer sences and a nice one to sip on a cold evening.

Bottled> Nice. Medium foamy head, amber colored, alcohol nose with fruits. Malty bitter dry taste. A really nice one.

16.9oz bottle, Best Before 05/Feb/09.Clear orange with some reddish highlights and a 2 finger light yellowish white head, good retention. Fruity aroma of prunes, raisins, and cherries to go along with toasty malts and caramel. Flavor follows with some light stale roasted notes to go along with the fruits and an earthy bitter (3-4 out of 10) dry finish. Medium body with low to moderate carbonation. Apparently, I’m not a huge fan of English Strong Ales

Allen (2393) - SWITZERLAND - OCT 19, 2008
Apricots, hops, honey and crackers in the nose. Salty. Peppery. Full bodied. Nicely balanced. Some walnuts showing up. The alcohol is rather pleasant. Wonderful finish with a hint of smoke, aniseed and heather. A great beer.

Half-liter bottle, Best Before 24/Oct/08. Rating #1845! What? I could’ve had a Minhas Craft 1845? Oh, wait, I’m not near a 7-11. So let’s pop this. Pours a nice brown body with a light brown, big head. Sweet, alcoholic smell, notes of whipped caramel. Taste is malty, yet a little drier than its smell. Suggestion of dates and walnut in the malt roast. Solid, earthy English hops. Alcoholic impressions are gone once I start tasting. Solid, pleasant English ale, not as "big" as the style suggests, but it is stronger than a seesion draught.

Bottle. A nice head that lasted the entire glass. Somewhat dry with a quick finish. A classic british style beer - very enjoyable.

theisti (2371) - Leawood, Kansas, USA - FEB 5, 2007
Bottle. Pours is brownish amber with some nice settling. Aroma is malt, bitter and hint of alcohol. Taste is malt, with a nice body. The alcohol is not present, though there is an earthiness in the back of the taste.
