Mar 23, 2007 Worcestishire sauce? Smokey nose. Thin palate, simple. Very bland, low malt profile. Finishes with a molasses flavor.

Mar 23, 2007 It doesn’t sustain. But it is still good. Woodsy. Smells like burnt pizza crust. Delicious flaovr, but quits early. Needs to be a little longer on the tongue. Tried Old Engine Oil if you would like to see how this should really taste

Mar 22, 2007 Bottle. Sweet, smokey nose like bbq sauce. Reddish black with no head. Interesting malt profile, flavorful until the finish. Palate is nice, whiskey-like, and sharp.

Mar 21, 2007 Almost worth the cost of a trip to England to become reacquainted with this ale from my youth.
Dark red/black with a minor tan head. Hint of sweet red wine in the aroma, burned malts with a subtle sweet tinge in the taste.
Oh to be in Yorkshire where this is on tap. As it is, happy with a bottle in London!

Mar 19, 2007 Updated: Apr 23, 2007Lovely looking, enticing beer. When you hold up to the light, it appears ruby red mixed with dark undertones. Aroma is fruity and inviting. The initial taste is nothing amazing, however the aftertaste is the highlight of this beer and provides a pleasureable fruity taste that invites you back for another gulp! it truely lives up to its title. Perhaps one of the finest bottled ales I have tasted to date.

Mar 10, 2007 Updated: Nov 17, 2007Purchased in a bar in Houston and served way too cold. More balanced towards malt and fruity, enjoyable and I would have an other. Page 451 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide and only 240 of his Classic 500 Brews to go. Had this recently at the brewery, after and tour by Simon Theakston, while talking to the cooper that made the barrel that it was served out of......priceless.
