Lubiere (6707) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 27, 2005
Deep red ruby brown ale with no head. Sweet caramle butterscotch with vanilla notes, woody chips, and dry mouthfeel. Still a rather light and watery bodied ale. Bought at Waitrose, Gloucester Road, London.

JohnBarleycorn (537) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 16, 2005
Not exactly the ruddy or rich-ruby appearance you’d expect, though there is a nice tinge of red/orange mixed in with the medium-brown hue. Fairly vapid vapours of malt, corn syrup and cherry escape the glass – nothing special. Based on the subdued aroma, the flavour is a nice surprise: cherry, chocolate, and a good, solid dose of bitterness. The gritty texture is also quite pleasant. Starts slow, ends well.

harrisoni (9614) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - AUG 20, 2005
Bottle 500ml. Darksih red ale, thin beige head. Good dark fruit and berry(strawberry?) aromas with caramel/toffee some roasted malt notes. Good in mouth some sweetness some roast malt coffee/caramel which carries on to end which is dry. OK, but would be better in winter than August

Svesse (4215) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - DEC 14, 2007
(Cask at Eagle, Hoxton, London, 28 Nov 2007) Dark ruby colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, slightly sourish nose with notes of cowberries and spices. Fruity, spicy taste with cowberries, raspberries and caramel. A bit strange.

DeepBlack (386) - Derby, Derbyshire, ENGLAND - OCT 6, 2004
From hand pump at The Alex in Derby. A mid brown coloured beer served with a sparkler. Particularly malty with a strong creamy head. At £2.30 a pint for 4.5% a reasonable purchase. Though a tad to malty for my taste

tiggmtl (4467) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 21, 2005
Mild spicy, herbal hop nose dissipates quickly leaving a caramel malt aroma. Red-amber with excellent clarity and a decent cover of tan head. Malty caramel flavour with some balancing bitterness. Nice dry finish leaves this one very easy to drink with medium body and moderately low carbonation. Bottle sampled with Lubiere, MartinT and Rastacouere.
