The beer poured a nice golden hue with an off-white head that lingered for a while. The aroma was nothing spectacular, slightly malty but long lasting. Like other ales I have tried it was slightly thick on the tongue with weak carbonation. The flavour was mild, not strong, not bitter as I had expected

This beer pours a dark brown colour into the glass with not a lot of head. The aroma is not all that strong which surprised me given the strong colouration. The taste had a sugary tinge to it that made the beer unpleasant to me. This is not a beer that I will try again in the near future.

The beer pours a mahogany colour with a weak tan coloured head. Vigourous swirlking results in a longer lasting head that laces well. The aroma is string on the alcohol with notes of dark fruit, molasses, and woody notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is sweet with notes of raisins, plums, and molasses but the alcohol is noticeable in the finish. Still, an excellent beer.
