Jan 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours out an orange color with a white head on it. Smell is fruity and somewhat bitter. Perhaps it is some hops that are still remaining. Taste is sweet and kind of astringent. Seemingly this lets up as the beer goes on, either that or my palate became adjusted to it. It wasnt good at all at the start, but by the finish I was wishing I had another. Not great, but not a drain pour at all.

Jan 3, 2009 Slightly hazy amber with a firm and lasting off-white head. Rich malt aroma with fruity notes, some marmalade and a touch of grassy hops. Dry malty flavour with caramel and biscuit, and just enough hop bitterness for a perfect balance.

Jan 3, 2009 Pours attractive ruddy caramel with a thin lasting tan head. The nose is quite a bit of dried fruits and malty caramel. Some apricot standing out as well. The flavor is smooth and malt sweet and dried fruit as well, with a touch of oak in the mid palate to finish. Quite smooth on the palate and dry, lasting fruity flavor with some subtle smoke.

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle # 143239. First aroma is leather. Rich leathery notes with some fruitiness and a touch of peat. Upon drinking this stuff explodes into a rainbow of English Ale standards. Leather, caramel malt, a touch of must and some bitterness. Pours amber with tan head. Definitely a winner, and worth the extra cash.

Nov 30, 2008 500 ml bottle no.119797. Pours out a cloudy orange color with a huge white/apricot colored head. The aroma is very nice; citrus, lemon cakes, yeast, hops, honey and lots of other things. The flavor is excellent; sweet butterscotch and lemon poppy seed cakes, some alcohol warmth, a light bitterness in the finish, hoppy but not aggressive. Leaves you palate bitter and fruity. A very full and soft palate. Very nice. Lots of yeast also.
