2.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
This ale poured a nice dark red colour with a big creamy off white head. To the nose the scents included dirty hair, dough, earth??? first taste was smooth and malty with the main taste being the malt flavour. Slightly watery but yet slightly oily mouthfeel. Odd, but not bad. The palate has the smallest flavour of hopps/bitterness taste. Not bad but the smell is really odd.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
From the bottle. This is a solid, very drinkable, tasty beer that is very English and almost rather like an earthy English bitter as much as a brown ale. The appearance isn’t much. It is a nice red-brown but has a very thin, fizzy tan head that immediately dissipates into bubbly fizz, elaving nothing. The aroma is malt, toasty, yeasty bread, a hint of nuts. The taste is a little earthy, with a faint sour hint, some sweetness, a faint hint of bitterness, with traces of toffee, nuts, and more wehat bread with a mild grain aftertaste. It’s quite fizzy for the style, which lends some interest but also detracts as it’s a little too much. It’s pleasant and tasty, very easy to drink and pleasant, but not exciting. It strikes me as rather similar to Young’s St. George’s or a weaker, mild Hobgoblin, although I’d have to taste them together to be certain.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Poured a red brown with a small off white head. Malty aroma was a little off (rank) with some caramel and nut notes. Taste is crisp and made of caramel malt and just a hint of burnt malts. Finish is a slight burnt malt flavor and pretty pleasant. Drinkable but not lovable.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a dark reddish brown with creamy head. Aroma is earthy and toasted malts. The flavor is nutty, somewhat buttery, and caramel. The bitterness is slight and finishes a bit watery. Overall has a good taste about it. I would call this a Bitter before a brown ale.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours Reddish orange brown, and got a beautiful creamy toffee colored head. The aroma is malts, caramel, and hint of raisin. The taste is malts, caramel, hops and lightly toasted nut. The finish is a tad dry with a light hop and fruit with a hint of chocolate flavor lingering. The feeling on the mouth is thin, but not watery.
