The beer pours a clear mahogany colour with a tan coloured head. Aroma is nutty, caramel, some herbal hops, and yeasty notes. The flavour was caramel, nuts, some weak citrus notes, and yeast. Decent.

Dark copper with off-white foam head. Aroma is malty, bitter hops. Taste is bitter with chocolate tones. Nice lasting aftertaste. Good British beer. (Velp 201309)

Label has a black upside down sheep on it -- a great start, but alas that really is the end of the good stuff. Pours dark, but thin, kind of like a glass of cola that has had all the ice melted and then the whole thing is kind of watery. Flavor is really pretty good, bit of sweetness but again kind of thin toasty flavors. Nice bitterness, fairly pronounced molasses aroma. Not terrible by any means, but it could stay on its side of the pond with out there being any loss.

Pretty decent dark ale, super easy to drink, nice coffee/tobacco aromas, relly seem to be set of by perhaps a bit too much carbonation, especiialy for a english ale. hoppier than expected, but not bitter. Alcohol is apparent and not well encorpoarted, that said it is refreshing and drinkable. One of the top 20 available at Tesco, but wouldn't go looking for this one

08/29/10- Having this again, must have gotten a bad bottle the first time. I've updated/upgraded the marks, but the ashtray remark remains. ****** OK, let's make some sense here. There is NO aroma. While it IS dark, there is a head but it dissipates quickly and is gone nowhere to be found. It IS watery. The overwhelming flavor is burnt ashtray. So essentially, this tastes like a watery ashtray with no head and no aroma. Can we all get real here, this is absolute crap and its only redeeming quality is that it is better than Budweiser.

Best before Nov 09. Pours a clear but dark red/brown with a medium vanilla head and good lacing. Smells of coffee, hops, and toffee with a little bit of a wine hint. mouthfeel is creamy with medium carbonation and a nice warm alcohol feeling after the swallow. The taste starts with some hops followed by coffee, caramel malt, roasted nuts and then it transitions beautifully into this chocolaty/coffee (mocha) finish that just finishes the sip off perfectly. Overall this is a well balanced beer with lots of flavours to detect. Very good beer overall. Ill be buying this again soon.

Very dark brown crystal clear with some red elements. Cap is thick and nipple shaped , has very good retention. Lots of banana, caramel, milk chocolate, and mild hops show up in the aroma. After a minute all aroma seems to vanish. First sip seemed watery but then coffee and malty wood, with the some bitter hops starts showing up. Taste is so clean not a single trace of the beer lingers. Hops are very noticeable but I can’t seem to nail down what they taste like. Ok beer to have but I’ll most likely never purchase again

Excellent first impressions on taste and aroma. Poured out a very nice looking crystal clear deep mahogany beer with a small white cap that leaves a bit of ropy lacing. There is still lots to love for aroma here but after letting it breathe for 10 minutes much of the early charm has hidden itself. Well defined roasted malts and nuts are the most forward but now it's quickly joined by something that is reminiscent of sweat and corn. OK, I've left it for 10 minutes more and things are slowly returning to Happyland. Background coffee, some fruit that seems to be raspberry in nature. I actually think the aromas I though sucked are actually tobacco related and now I accept it. The taste is still pretty fine though: good roast balanced nicely with perfectly strengthed bitterness, slight slight coffee, corn husks, interesting spice that comes out later, mild caramel. Well carbonated, good bitter finish with lingering dull malts. A lot of these would be nice. I did get bored after awhile though...

This is a clear beer in the brown colour range with reddish tinges wround the edge. The head is thin, tan couloured, and quickly disappears. The aroma is similar to an English brown ale with nutty malt, and a small hoppish hint. The flavour was primarily malty, with some sour hints, followed by a bitter hoppy finish.

The beer poured a translucent reddish brown into the glass with a thick, creamy, off-white head that lingered. The aroma is primarily malt with a little skunkiness. The mouthfeel was full-bodied, creamy, with some carbonation. The flavour is also malty, very English.
