3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sweet and soft aroma, almost like a dessert. Resembles a weaker Guinness in appearance. Flavor is sweet.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle... Poured near black with an off-white head, faded quickly to nothing. Spicy malt aroma. Flavors were kind of hoppy up front with a wine-like bass, very sweet with maybe plumb juice and caramel. Sweet/tart malt finish.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
355 mL bottle. (Labeled malt liquor!) Dark, chestnut brown with a small, quickly dissipating brown head. Thick molasses aroma with some ripe pear/apple in there as well. The flavour is quite malty sweet - caramel and cola. No bitterness, and it sweetens as it warms. Quick finish. Alcohol is well hidden. Fairly full bodied, but simple. Not bad - went well with lamb.

12oz bottle-pours a retaining tan head and mahogany color. Aroma is medium/dark malt-caramel, peat. Taste is dark malt-caramel/molasses, eat, dark fruit-plum/raisin, some hops bite. Nice Schwarz-scotch ale, occasional. OK carbonation.

I was very happy to have come across this great find. I love the dark overpowering taste of this mix. A Smokey sweet aroma coupled with a caramel, oakish taste makes this one of the better beers I have had.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a dark brown colour with a thick, creamy off-white head. Smells like the smokiness from a single-malt along with some malts. Tastes of caramel, like a more harcore Wealther’s Original... A bunch of malts are definately present along with some fruits and some alcohol. Creamy mouthfeel as well. Pretty damn good.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz. bottle. Clear garnet hue with an off white head; beautiful lacing. Strong, smoked malt smell. High viscosity body. Taste is of slightly sweet caramel with smoked peat malts and dark tree fruit flavors.
Tastes as good today as when I first tried it in ’ 81 when pisswater ruled the US beer market. Still one of the best brews from the UK.

Poured a clear deep red color with a beige head and some legs. The aroma was sweet and malty with some dark fruit and sugar. Doughy and peaty notes. The flavor was full and malty with some sweet fruit and toffee. Light bitter finish. Medium to full body with nice warmth in the chest.
