Bottle, courtesy of John White. Amber gold, moderate white head and gentle condition. Pleasant fruit malt and caramel with a background of flowery hops and a trace of cowpat in the nose, gentle sweet caramel initialy in the mouth but a developing dry earthy hop note emerges with time, slightly tinny in the finish with a solid hop bitterness and a suggestion of ashtrays.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear amber , rich snow white head. Bland aroma of straw. Rather bitter grassy flavour, notes of butter and straw. Dry finish of grape-peels. Decent and quite refreshing bitter.

Dark brown. Small white head. Moderate malty aroma. Hoppy flavour with notes of caramel and fruity sweetness. Light bitter ending (half pint served at ambient temperature at Jerusalem Tavern 18.09.2006).

Fruity/floral aroma, a hazy copper, with a tiny cream head. Very nice malt tones in the flavour, extra fine bitterness, nice mouth feel, a good example.

Bottled. Butterscotchy aroma with musty tea leaf hop back-up, and faint (milk) chocolate. Clear red and lacy. Pleasant bittering hop and caramelised malt. A teaspoon of soil. Chalk, wood, walnut, caramel, slight chocolate. Solid, flavoursome BB.

Aroma of walnuts and good cigars, which is also in the flavors, along with a good amount of caramel. It kind of reminds me of JW Lees Harvest Ale, if JW had a younger brother. Nicely complex beer.

This is a good session beer. Nothing over the top, not good, but not terrible. Pours a clear amber with a little frothy head. Average doughy malt flavors, with some light hoppy bitterness, with a bit of a piney taste at times, finish is basic and lightly chalky.

The aroma is like cola with caramel malt and hops. The appearance is amber with almost no head. The flavor is astringently bitter with paper, toffee, and toasted malt. The palate is watery and the finish is bitter and tastes like poor quality coffee. Whether it’s by design or accident this beer is almost without carbonation. This is not good, maybe it’s stale.
