On tap before a trip to White Hart Lane.
Maybe the surroundings added to the experience, but this Tetleys went down remarkably well. Orange/brown with a nice mild hoppiness. Served just this side of room temperature and went down oh so easy.

Jul 23, 2007 Draught at The Black Horse Inn, Whitby. Pours a clear very deep orange-red with an average size off-white head. Mild aroma of hops, some mild roastness and a hint of smoke (didn’t expect that). Flavour’s a little toasty, less sweet and fruity then most of the Bitters I’ve had here which is a refreshing change, more bitter as well. Some caramel malt and nuts in there too. Medium bodied. Pretty enjoyable stuff.

Apr 6, 2006 Slightly aged sample Medium but dense, creamy off-white head; orange-foxy beer with a slight haze all the same. Bit of caramel or even toffee, yet not overly sweet nose. Some extra smell that reminds me both of honeysweets and... stinging nettles? Caramel, and a discreet hoppy bitterness that has a metallic, even galvanic tang to it. Bit smoked, but not as smoked malt nor ashes. Reasonably refreshing, bit gassy. Something vaguely (hazel)nutty in the aftertaste. The "Imperial" name is less than clear. It’s a decent bottled ale, for sure. Thanks to podge, who yielded to my stubborness.

Mar 14, 2005 Bottle. This is actually a very nice bottle of beer. Tastes of confidence and experience. Nice brown sugar flavours, caramel and toffee with a gentle balance of hops. Very drinkable. [2.8]
