Traditionally Crafted Legendary Ruby Beer.

Aromas of puke, hints of red malts and butterscotch. Sweet, resiny caramel malts, english hoppyness. Quite ok taste. Overall quite good beer but the aroma is awful ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cask at The Roadhouse in Birmingham. I always find the caramel a bit too heavy in this beer. It’s a nice drink but not a session beer for me

Cask at The Golden Fleece in York. Pours dark amber with a creamy beige head. Mild roasty aroma. Flavor is mildly spicy and moderately malty. Something like a flavorful amber.

Hcgiii (30) - Washington DC, USA - FEB 3, 2013
Not much initial taste that gives way to a lager taste. Carbonation takes and has a dark feel on way down. Solid. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

arminjewell (4159) - Saudi Auroria, Colorado, USA - JAN 12, 2013
Pour on tap at Old Chicago, dark reddish brown pour with thin off white head, aroma brought notes of some sour grain, caramel, toffee, hints of spice, slight cardboard, just not the right tastes in here. Taste is similar, some sour grain, cardboard, some slight sweet caramel, toffee, finishing fairly sweet, slightly bitter.
