3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 promontor (7) - HUNGARY - MAY 20, 2012 does not count
Small (.33l) bottle from britishstore.hu. Starts with a strong head but quickly vanishes. Head has silky and mildly bitter taste. Color is fairly dark: light brown and a bit of red. Very mildly carbonated, just what you expect from a British ale. Taste is also mild: malty, well balanced with a bit of bitterness, toffee and races of some fruits (maybe apple or grapes). Nice drink, but quite expensive here and Fuller has better ones.

Malt, citrus, and grassy hops in the aroma. Taste starts sweet with caramel and toffee. Fruit, grass, and bittering hops in the finish. Loved this the first time I tried it, still love it now.

Pint, brown bottle, best bsfore Nov 07, drank Dec 06.
Lovelly dark amber beer, with a good, off white head, which retained its size throughout the pint.
The aroma and taste were of rich malts and hops, very ’moorish’.
The richness stays in the mouth and reminds you that you have just had a drink of a very good beer indeed.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 fsquirrel29 (27) - Michigan, USA - APR 27, 2012
First off... I really like low hops, bitter beers. I typically like porters, so keep that in mind when reading this... but I LIKE THIS BEER! This has been one of my favorite beers for many years now, but somewhat difficult to find. I talked a friend into trying it and he bought a single bottle (I believe it was a pint). He knew I liked it and saved it until I came over and then we split the bottle. Unfortunately, my friend liked it almost as much as I did, so I only got about 8 oz. But now I know where to buy it & it will be in my regular purchases.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 rulas3 (17) - , SPAIN - APR 27, 2012
Apariencia: color ambar dorado, nada turbio, carbónico constante. Corona de un dedo, se mantiene constante, color hueso claro.
Aroma: intensidad media, maltoso, muy inglés, notas de cerezas, naranja dulce.
Sabor: cuerpo medio, muy bebible, seca, un poco amarga, un pelín maltosa, notas de caramelo, vainilla y toffe, nada floral, muy equilibrado, presencia de lúpulos cítricos. Sabor muy largo. Alcohol muy bien integrado.
objetivamente es una muy buena cerveza, equilibra perfectamente el sabor maltoso con el amargor sin que uno se coma al otro o lo anule. Es una buena cerveza tradicional, compleja y con muchos matices pero ligera, bebible y que no cansa. De todas formas no termina de convencerme, me parece un poco plana

Mahogany pour with white head. Smell is spice, caramel, orange. Taste is bitter and spiced slightly roasted. Rather bitter and sticky. Sustains in the palate generously.
