| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 2, 2005 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.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 6, 2003 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. DruncanVeasey (2770), The Penguin’s Arms, Europe, Warwickshire, England

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 18, 2003 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. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 18, 2004 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. nick76 (2695), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Dec 11, 2006 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.
