Sep 28, 2007 Pours dark ruby with short lived beige head. Aroma xmas cake. Oaky, malty, sweet and roasted. Dried fruit, tannins a little drying on the finish. Can see why the brewer recommends it as an accompaniment to good English cheese, cos this is a liquid fruitcake. Excellent cold weather beer.

Sep 5, 2007 pint bottle - Pours very dark brown with a thin head and a rich malt aroma that has some hints of dark fruit. The flavor includes sweet roast malts, dark fruit, coffee, and mild hops. It’s medium bodied and may seem a touch watery if served very cold, but letting it warm helps and really brings out the complex flavors. The hops bitterness kicks in a little more in the pleasing finish. Superb and highly recommended.

Sep 2, 2007 Pour is a dark red with a small tan head. Aroma is some dark fruit with a bit of cherry and oak. Flavor is very much a dark caramel malt with some notes of toffee and wood smoke. A decent beer you could have in winter or summer.

Sep 1, 2007 Pours a deep reddish brown, with a thin offwhite head. Smells interesting - toffee, a sherry-like sharpness, and a hint of vanilla. Surprisingly thing bodied, and a little over carbonated for my taste, but a complex flavour. Caramel, oak, toffee, and plums all pop up to say hi. A good firm bitterness rounds off the experience. Not a bad drop at all.
