Nov 2, 2006 Updated: May 15, 2007This is beer 400 for me and I picked it up at a UK supermarket. On first sip it seemed pretty busy with a lot of different elements spinning through my tongue (my first impression was wow this is burnt) and after awhile I began to appreciate the oaky biscuit-like malt flavor which has a finish that seems rather elegant. Its almost crunchy despite the dry finish. I’d say there are some dark cherry oak notes in here and in the sweet aroma. vintage). Sometimes Waitrose does not disappoint. If this wasn’t pasteurised and was more natural, I’d rate it higher.

Oct 29, 2006 Finally, finally getting a chance to try this, thanks to the friendly provider and sharer of beer goodies, Hogtown Harry, sampled after a squash night. Not sure the year, but the bottle said best before Nov 07. Dark ruby brown, medium foamy head. Wow, aroma - so woody, malt, grain. Like a contemplative old style porter. Nutty. Amazing. Nutty, caramel, burnt sweet taste - lovely stuff. Medium body. Very easy to drink, alcohol never a factor. Not overly complex in taste (now the aroma is a different story), but man, the flavour is good and this beer is an amazing example of an English Strong / Old Ale. Waited 3 years to try it, thanks again Harry.
