3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Brilliant, clear copper/amber body with a thick, tan head. Nuts, whole grains, toffee and chewy malts. Quite malty with some dark, ripe fruits hinted at toward the back. Tremendous malt character provides for a smooth body and creamy finish. Tasty, chewy and gloriously malty. A very tasty bitter.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Deep copper red with a thick foamy head, woody malts aroma, with sweet matls and caramel, nuts. The bitterness is mild, but the beer is a nice body, almost creamy.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark amber colour, fluffy off-white head. Super malty aroma, some hints of alcohol. Malty flavour, full bodied.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled, 5.5%. Nice arome, not too complex though. Creamy head. Deep rich amber color. Very smooth with a nice acidic finish. Excellent on tap.

This presents like your typical English ale. Good deep colour and creamy head. The goldings hop is prominent in both aroma and taste. I am starting to curse you ratebeer, as you have asked us to lift our tasting palate to the extent that many beers are not as good we would have first assessed. This is a good beer with some of the qualities noted by Roger Protz. I think you need to drink this on tap.

Red-amber color. Nice cheesy malt aroma (Belgian). Somehow malty, with a strong dry caramel character. Classic but pretty strong final (again, with a lot of caramel). A malty Bitter.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Red/brown color. Aroma issweet, some vanilla. Flavor is metallic, not a beer very much to my liking.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Beautiful brown/redish brew with a small head reminiscent of the style. Once open, I got an incredible fruity/sweet smell that disapear once the brew was in my glass. Bitter tasting with a sweet aftertaste. One of the best bitter that I had the chance to drink recently. Will try to track more C.Wells product...
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(5.5%ABV) Big brown head atop a clear copper body. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel/toffee, some milk chocolate. Taste is malty -- caramel, chocolate and some coffee, with light earthy. Medium body, slightly watery. Improved significantly once it got above 60F.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark ruby amber colour with a minute off white head on it. Flavour and aroma are dominated by sweet malt, but of caramel, tiny hint of a not-quite chocolate fruity taste. A nice pint. Not what I think of when I think English Bitter.
