'Un more classic. Deep exciting copper color. I loved its gentle head. When I saw it first time, aroma didn't matter. Lots of fruits, butter, malt, nuts, microns of chocolate and alcohol. If I were the beer, I'd be "Tawny Ale".

Copper colour w. small head. Delicious malt (sweet, nut, toffee) well balanced by long bitter finish. Smooth.

Amber color. Hoppy aroma. Really dry palate. Nut flavor, somewhat bittersweet.

Brisbane (24) - SWEDEN - MAR 14, 2003
Nectarous. Cherry aftertaste. Syrupy aroma, even some smokiness. This is one of the best ales I've had on bottle, but it's a bit too sickeningly sweet to drink a whole bottle.

Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - MAR 8, 2003
A ruby beer wiht a good head. The aroma is sharp with notes of fruit. The flavor is flat, bitter, fruity, and slightly sweet.

Dark amber color. Malty aroma with licorice. Hopbitter flavor with licorice, blackcurrant and pear. Well balanced ale with a good body.

The first time I tasted this ale it was like a new chapter in my beerdrinking: so full of malt and hops was hard to find where i live in those days. But beware: there is an Ushers white ale and an Ushers ruby ale too, but they don´t play in the same league.

An English Strong Ale made with great efforts regarding to the quality of malt and hops. Already in the nose you can feel the complexity of this dark amber beverage, made for gods ! NB I don´t work at the brewery. When this fullbodied ale hits your tongue and palate with full impact, you are a fan ! All the bitterness of Englands best hopfields, concentrated in one bottle.
