May 23, 2006 Very nice appearance, deep amber with a small off white head. Malt an d goldings is the armoa. The flavour is strong, a solid maltiness...crystal sweetness and agressive hopping. A great bitter.

May 17, 2006 Bottle. A perfectly acceptable english bottled bitter, in fact better than quite a few. Fruity malt and earthy finish with some well balanced crystal in the background. Not really too my taste.

Apr 26, 2006 Pours a nice reddish-brown color with a minimal white head. Slight toffee aroma leads into a good dose of carmel malt flavor. Watery finish. A nice English ale.
bmackenzie (39), Wellington, New Zealand
Apr 19, 2006 Bottle from Regional Wines and Spirits.
Pours a dark ruby red with thin, wispy head. Aroma of toffee and a hint of licorice. More toffee and caramel malt up front with a slight sweet fruitiness to go with more licorice through the middle. Disappointing mouth feel and watery finish but pleasant bitterness.
I have fond memories of a pint of this on the pump but underwhelmed at the moment.
