Jul 17, 2009 1 pt. bottle. Pours an amber brown that is like the color of tea. Nice pillowy off-white head. Sweet malt, a touch of caramel, light brown sugar, and a touch of earth in the nose. Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel. Caramel malt sweetness, a bit of a metallic note, and just a bit of a sour note, like sourdough bread. A very mild hop note lurks in there too. A medium, sweet finish with just a touch of bitterness. Unfortunately the metallic note keeps ringing through, lessening the experience.

Jul 15, 2009 clear orange-brown, thin fizzy beige head.
very bready aroma, just smells like yeasty dough with a bit of caramel.
flavor is much more caramel, a bit of malt and doughy finish.
a bit thin bodied, and maybe too much carbonation.
this is good, but the flavor is a bit flat.

Jul 6, 2009 Nitrokeg at Harvester in Bushey Heath. Mid brown with nitrocream head. I visit this pub with wife and kids quite regularly and tend to drink this. The London Pride that it has replaced suffered from low tuirnover so this is a safe bet. I have to say that I prefere this to the cask. I seems to have a citrus edge to the hop profile.

Jun 23, 2009 Poured out a nice sized light tan crown on top of a mahogany brew. Very good retention, good ropy lacing. The aroma here is odd - first thing that hit me was of a whiskey or something like that - fairly unpleasant to me actually, but this beer is unique. Once it warms, the other smells creep out - sweet toasted malts, bready, dark fruit (plums?), possibly tobacco and an odd spice. The flavour is also unique to me - more sort of whisky like stuff is the first impression but I’m sure that’s the hops in here; seems warm to the nose, toffee and an interesting candy sweetness, slight pepper. Almost medium bodied. So-so smooth with ample carbonation that seems to help the bitterness permeate the mouth. Dry bitter finish. A very interesting beer that has many qualities that do not suit my tastes, I probably won’t get another bottle, but this one is a bit different and worthy of a taste. Get a hold of a bottle and see how much you hate it or love it.
