Feb 6, 2010 Dark brown beer with quite weak and head. Biscuit malts, some toffee and oak barrel and some typical brittish bitter in the flavour. Malts, some roastiness and toffee, hint of oak and overally flavour is surprisingly quite dry. Body is strong enough to make this nice to drink. Good, balanced beer but there are nothing to remenber; maybe this kind of beers are not brewed for me.

Feb 4, 2010 500ml bottle from DK. I always have really liked this beer. Bottle. Pours a nice dark copper colour with a short-lived light tan head. Aroma is quite sweet and fruity with notes of vanilla, toffee, raisins, dates, and oak.. Flavour is also fairly sweet, vinous and fruity with similar notes to the aroma as well as some additional spiciness. Full bodied with low carbonation and a lingering bittersweet, roasty and spicy finish. Very flavourful, but still I could drink a few pints of this one.

Feb 3, 2010 Bottle 500ml. Very dark brown-reddish color, small head. Very light carbonation. Roasted malt aroma, somewhat fruity, soft and sweet, but not too sweet. Very slight hops in the aftertaste, but almost no bitterness. Very drinkable and one doesn’t taste the alcohol at all. I was actually surprised how good it was.

Jan 25, 2010 Bottle. Pours a lovely dark copper colour with a short-lived light tan head. Aroma is quite sweet and fruity with notes of toffee, raisins, dates, port, oak and rum. Flavour is also fairly sweet, vinous and fruity with similar notes to the aroma as well as some additional spiciness. Full bodied with low carbonation and a lingering bittersweet, roasty and spicy finish. Very good, a complex and well balanced English ale that is great in small doses after a meal but is also just as good as a session ale.
