Feb 11, 2007 this beer has england written all over it. just has a typically british flavor profile. a little sweet toffee and raisiny flavor with a slight roasted bitterness. no real signs of hoppiness. not a bad beer...i can imagine this would be fantastic on cask as a good session pub beer.

Feb 10, 2007 Deep brown in color. Nutty raisin and roasted malt in the nose. Complex flavors all balanced against a delicious roasted malt background. Yummy.

Feb 10, 2007 500ml bottle, poured a very dark ruby colour with an off white lasting head,very nice malted aroma, strong hints of coffeen and some hints of toffee sweetness in there too. dark fruitiness in the mouth, raisins and a good long dry finish, haven’t tried this for years so must buy some more

Feb 4, 2007 Dark brown with fast dissipating tan head. Fruity aroma, plummy and vinuous and malty taste with a lingering dry finish.

Feb 2, 2007 Updated: Jun 24, 2008Bottle. Dark brown with a tan head that fell back rapidly aroma bizarrely like coca-cola rich malty taste with raisin fruit and a dry coffee finish. A strange combination that comes together surprisingly well.

Jan 31, 2007 Bottle. Pours a dark brown almost purplish ruby with a thick tan head that would lace the glass. Malty, richly sweet aroma with a tough of spice that can’t quite be pinned down. Hidden within I note a roast coffee with a touch of char or smoke buried in a sweet rich body with some definite dark fruit notes. Mouthfilling, almost foamy with a faint lingering bitterness. Not bad, but the combination of flavors on this one seemed a little muddled.

Jan 31, 2007 The appearence is a dark ruby brown, with a 3/4 to 1 in dark brown head. The taste mirrors the smell with a hint of molasses, maybe raisens or someting, and nutmeg. A great starter for those trying to get into the second level of better beer. This beer started my journey past APA’s, and dry stouts.

Jan 30, 2007 Updated: Aug 26, 2008THOUGHTS: The aroma was nice but weak. Some cola flavor wn hop bitterness. Pretty good. Definitely different, but not great.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a dark brown with red highlights and a small to average, off-white head that mostly diminished. The aroma was mostly cola and dark fruit (either plum or prune). The initial flavor was lightly sweet and also sour, while the finish was lightly sweet and light to moderately bitter with a short duration. The body was medium and mostly dry but a little oily with fizzy carbonation.
