Mar 4, 2007 Bottle 06/07. Pours a clear dark orange with a big fluffy head. Slight spice and carmel aroma. Taste is similiar with nutty notes and a nice hop bite. Light mouthfeel, which is dissapointing. Refreshing but forgettable.

Mar 2, 2007 Updated: Mar 11, 2007This is the best English Strong Ale I have ever had ,pours amber like honey,with a nose of fresh apples with notes of carmel .It poured with a nice foamy head. It has a crisp taste like a fresh pear, that leaves an aftertaste like a mild electrical current on the tongue.No strong bitter hops to mask the sweet malts, a very nice blend.It has a nice effervescence enhancing the palate.The brew was so refreshing after a hard days work,like a blessing.

Mar 1, 2007 Bottle. Deep copper-like amber with a little foamy head. Aroma is mildly hoppy with a caramel malty aftertaste. A slight bit of fruitiness. Flavour is suprisingly bitter. Well rounded with a nice creamy mouthfeel.

Feb 27, 2007 Pours a dark orange color with a small head the vanished on me. Bitter, a little spicy and somewhat fruity, it wasn’t a bad beer but not Sam Smiths best effort. I’ll try one next winter and see if anything’s changed.

Feb 26, 2007 Poured a fine, orange-amber color with a nice whitish head. Aroma of caramel, malts, and spices. Taste begins malty and finishes with a surprisingly dry, hops bite. Very pleasant brew.
