COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle; Pasteurised.
NOTE: Only the bottled version of this beer is brewed at Broughton. The cask version is brewed at Whim (which is under the same ownership). Ratings for the cask version should be entered there.
Ingredients: Pale, Crystal and Black Malts; Northdown hops.
Deep reddish amber in colour, with a thick creamy head and delightful hop aroma. On the palate, it is predominantly dry, though the malt character is evident in flavour and body, and it finishes with a long-lasting and pleasant hop bitterness.

UPDATED: JUL 3, 2005 (Bottle 50 cl) Dark bronze with a creamy, cappuchino-like head. Quite full-bodied in spite of the low alcohol. Very aromatic with a dark and lightly burned character and a nice hoppiness that reaches far into the finish. 010104

bu11zeye (9622) - Frisco (Dallas), Texas, USA - APR 2, 2007
(Bottle) Pours a brown body with a medium beige head. Aroma of dates, mustiness, and caramel. Flavor of dark fruit, caramel, and Dr. Pepper.

hopscotch (7288) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - APR 22, 2009
Bottle… Pours dark and flat – looks a lot like prune juice. Light molasses, dried plum, burnt caramel and maple syrup in the aroma. Medium-bodied with listless carbonation. Well-balanced flavor, but thin and uninspired. Watered down essences of prune juice and molasses. Finishes diluted and dull.

imdownthepub (7171) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - SEP 22, 2003
Bottled, Pasteurised. A brown amber beer with a thick creamy head. This is all in the malt, sweet and toffee like, a little over boiled and tinny. A pleasant warming alcohol glow, but is let down by the bottling process.

Tmoney99 (6894) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - JAN 1, 2007
Bottle 500ml from Party Town, KY. Poured hazy brown with an average off-white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Medium aroma of sweet malt. Medium body with a thin texture. Good flavor of sweet malt and medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable beer.

Lubiere (6707) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - APR 7, 2006
Dark red brown ale witg a thick off white head. Sweet brown sugar aroma, like vanilla fudge and dry raisins. In mouth, sweet caramel with very buttery notes, oxidized taste, a bit astringent, nothing thrilling. BB April 2004....jeez, I have to check my BB dates more carefully!
