Deep copper brown colour with a small, quickly vanishing head. Strong hoppy smell. Taste is dominated by hoppy bitterness but has also some roasty sweet malty elements and a hint of caramel and fruits. Quite long aftertaste.
Update 4.6.2008: (Real Ale) Quite round mouthfeel maybe due the low carbonation. Notes of berries too. Aftertaste has also a bit of toffee. Omg this is good.

Jun 26, 2008 Handpulled cask at Castle Harrow. I can remember when this really was an extra special bitter! Nowdays its an also ran. Just like its sister beer London Pride,it tastes like a mass produced factory beer now. The only distinctive flavour I detect is the recent Fullers house characture of vomit.

Jun 21, 2008 Dark brown with some beige head. Aroma not pronounced but rich. Medium body with light carbonation. Rich, fairly conplex flavour with sweetish dark malt, some fruitiness and moderate bitterness. A very good stronger ale.

Jun 13, 2008 (Cask@St.Urhos) Slightly hazy amber with a small, bubbly head. Caramely-malty aroma with some dark fruit. Caramely-fruity flavor with low bitterness, some gluey-soapy feel, and tiny hints of alcohol. Light to medium body with low carbonation. I wonder why this is so popular as a real ale, as it was quite boring, IMO.
