3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark ruby colour. Some coffee and biscuit in the nose, a bit like being on the 192 past McVities in Levenshulme. Our chops will know what I’m on about. Fine stuff, get in there ingerlund.

3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: OCT 25, 2008 Having had a few disappointing British bottled beers recently, this was a real surprise. Exceptional flavour, wonderful balance: sweet, bitter, rich. What more can a man ask for? This is the finest British beer I have had in a good while.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Dark clear red colour, with a werry nice creamy head. Aroma of werry sweet,caramel, some citric and flowerry ending. flavor is almost the same,but has a alcy/sweet caramel mouth feeling. Medium body, and a sweet/malty/alcy mouth feeling. Some raisins in the end. Medium finish here.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Malty hopypy and creamy aromas with alcohol and spicy undertones. Pours an opaque brownish red coloured beer with a beige foam head. Soft mouthfeel, creamy, some oily texture. Taste is sweet, very hoppy. Some carbonation, spice, aclohol and hoppy finish. Quite tasty although the alcohol content begins to wear thin once the beer has warmed up some.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Fantastic rich dark brown colour with a thick long lasting head with good lacing. Great malty chocolate aroma. Tastes is sweet and biscuity which is nicely balanced by a slightly bitter finish. This may be too much beer for some but I love it. This is one of my new favourites.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Beautiful dark brown color with a thin lacey head. Wonderfully drinkable taste in the mouth, that went down smooth. However, this gave way to a hard, bitter aftertaste that was just too much for me. For those who like this style of beer, you will probably think this is a winner. For me, I would only take it on tap when sitting down with a jolly Brit.
