Nov 28, 2007 Maybe my favorite English bottled beer. Yeasty aroma and fruity flavors topped with a fair bit of hops. A classic that defies classification.

Nov 26, 2007 Bottle. Has moderate bready or doughy aroma. Pours a dark red/brown that you can’t see thru. Sweetly malty with a suble bitterness.

Nov 25, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours dark red brown with big tan head. The aroma has lots of sticky sweet caramel and toffee, with notes of raisins and those dehydrated banana chips. The flavor is malty and smooth. There is quite a bit of raisin in there, along with some wood and chocolate tones. Some faint banana comes through once in a while, as does a touch of alcohol. The finish is a little bit nutty with some roasty caramel. Very drinkable.

Nov 21, 2007 Bottle. Poured with a nice finger width of head. Body is a pleasant ruby brown color, and after the head is gone, has okay lacing. Initial smell and taste both reveal a fruitiness that is surprising. More sweet than bitter, with an interesting dry finish. Overall, a delicious beer that I’ve had before, and plan to have again.

Nov 21, 2007 Poured Dark, with a descent off colored head. To me it has a slight tequila smell and taste (Not a bad thing). Would drink this one on occasions. Overall good dark beer.

Nov 21, 2007 Updated: Nov 27, 2007Nice and smoooooth beer that reminded me of a lager mixed in with a dark beer w/o the "heavy" taste going down. Love it.

Nov 19, 2007 Updated: Jan 8, 2008I had been saving this for a rainy day and decided to break it out while watching the Titans game. Poured a nice dark brown to almost black color with a nice foamy head. The taste is a little like a Sam Adams Black Lager only a bit richer. I was expecting a smokier taste but I can’t say I’m disappointed with it. This is a nice beer showing a nice chocolate and coffee aftertaste. I hope that I will have the opportunity to have this again. I read in an earlier post that it wasn’t going to be imported here anymore. Nice beer.

Nov 17, 2007 Bottle poured into pint glass. Pours almost black colour with ruby highlights. Thin tan film on top with good carbonation. Aroma was sweet malt. Strong malt flavour with a little more sweetness. Short finish. First old ale and it was nice.
