AROMA: (3) Pleasant mellow malt aroma.
TASTE: (3) Moderate mouthfeel. Little bit of burnt wood, slightly dry malty finish with a little bit of dry aftertaste.
EXTRA: (2) Mimics the original English style ale well but so does a lot of beers.
It is difficult to find anything exciting in the British style ales when there are so many better ales brewed in America today. It is also a beer style that is not often used for new innovative craft breweries, either in US or Europe. Maybe that says it all.
