bottle picked up at world market denton, tx. pours a rich deep amber color with a tan head. head retention was excellent. this laced my glass very well. aroma had some caramel, toffee, and fruity notes. flavor was a nice blend of caramel and fruit with med carbonation. i shared this one with my brother and hope that he enjoyed it as much as myself.

07/06 0.5l can courtesy of ogivlado, great thanks, shared with Doggythedog. Poured clear dark brown reddish body with small brownish head. Nice caramel aroma, enriched with some fruits. Flavor is not so fine, bitter roasted sugar and coffee, pleasant, but thin bodied. Finish is short, dry with hints of cardboard. Didn’t like it so much. Actually didn’t realized it’s different style at all until I came here.

The aroma of this brew smells like urine to me. But with such an overwhelmingly detestable character on the label, I figured it may be a crude joke, so I ventured on. The taste is not that bad. Neither is the aftertaste. Another beer I would never buy a sixer of, but I was surprised at the taste (of course, anything that smells like urine that ends up tasting descent will deserve this honor). So, eh, go ahead and give it a whirl for yourself!

Dark in colour, smelt very malty, had a strong taste of malt and hops with a hint of coffee. Had a bitter after taste.

A canned bitter... a first for me I believe. Poured a dark dark red with a tiny off white head. A light but somewhat pleasant taste, some nice, if weak hopiness, bit piney/lemony. Honeyish, with an earthy, roasty finish. Not bad but it didn’t rock my world.

Aroma was a a bit confusing, but pleasant. Hoppy aroma, dark amber coloring with some lace. Malt flavor with strong hoppiness after taste. Medium weight in the mouth with sofness. Interesting flavor of earthiness, nut. Definately would drink again.

A decent English Bitter. Highly drinkable. Quickly dissipating head with nice lacing. English toffee-malt character and Fuggles hops are apparent, though to a lesser degree than what you find in a Fullers if you are a big fan of those beers (which I am). This is the kind of Brit Ale I always thought of as the way an Ale should be brewed before I took on the whole Belgian thing. Dry and very good, just not very exciting.
