mike1977ok (365), Netherlands Dec 22, 2007 Dark red-brown colour. Aroma of roasted malts. Flavour is rather bitterbut has enough complexity of malt and hop to carry it off. Overall a nice bitter with a good malt flavour. beervis (215), People’s Republic of Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, England Dec 11, 2007 Nice looking pint, aroma malty and fruity. flavour malty and moderately bitter with a little smokiness. palate a little overcarbonated which is not good for the mouthfeel unfortunately. finish dry and woody, lingers pleasantly. Ethereal (927), London, Greater London, England Jun 10, 2007 500ml bottle. Pours a clear, reddish amber with a perfect inch of head. Really looks like the archetypal pint of bitter when poured. Unfortunately, it doesn’t taste as good as it looks. It lacks aroma and the malty taste has a chemical tartness to it. The palate is a bit weak and the aftertaste is shortlived. Overall, distinctly average but gets a bonus point for the looks! johndoughty (1681), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England May 5, 2007 Bottle.Medium carbonation with a brownish appearance.The gassiness was a definute minus point in what was a slightly dissapointing neer. cgarvieuk (2541), Edinburgh, Scotland Apr 1, 2007 a Ruby coloured ale, thats both sweet and bitter bitter, with a slightly bitter linger .
