22 oz. bottle courtesy of Gourley, split with ’Naka. Dark Amber color with a small off white head. Malty and raisin nose, sweet. Very sweet taste with raisin and plum. Lots of carmel. Nice subtly bitter crisp finish. Pretty decent. Very drinkable.

Dark chocolate burnt flavour with some hoppy bitterness. Grapes, caramel malt, and some metallic character. Nothing special.

Pours a reddish brown with a creamy light tan head. The aroma has banana, sweet, caramel, grassy, English feel, malty all over. The flavor is caramel, some banana as well, a little hop bite, sweet, light alcohol. Different for a bitter. Light carbonation and a short finish.

I have had this on tap and in the 12 oz. bottle and it is a great beer! Better on tap but still good from the bottle. Pours dark with a good head. The aroma is of roasted malt and gives a hint of the goodness. Great balance with a long finish.

Dark amber color with a tan acidic head. Smells of roasted malt and tastes the same with a nice smooth bitter caramel taste. Good brew.

Can pours dark amber with a tan head that falls quickly and very little lace. The aroma is slightly grapefruity and caramel. The flavor is sweet, malty, nicely balanced with hops, and fairly mild. The palate does sort of come off as rich and medium bodied. Overall, this is a decent session.
