If this beer is retired it is still available as a bottled beer at Christmas 2018! A beer that overflows the bottle when opened! Very nice dull red colour with a frothy head that retains its depth well, No smell - as simple as that, which is a shame. Has a nice hoppy feel with a good bitter finish - pleasant on the palate. A drinkable beer spoilt by its bland initial aroma.

Tried on cask at The Porcupine on Charing Cross Road in London.
Pours a lovely clear red colour. Deep but bright at the same time. Head is creamy in colour and consistency, and persists well as the beer goes down. Body is fairly light. Lacing forms in streaky rings. Tilting the beer leaves carbonation in snowy powdery swirls. Looks great.
Nose is a bit dull to be honest. Slight toasty characters but a bit too much underattenuated wort coming through. Some ashy notes make up the rest of the body, while a slight hint of almond tried to compensate. Okay, but not great.
Taste is slightly better. Toasty notes, plenty of English hops giving it a herbal, earthy character and a strong bitter finish. Feel consists of a solid rounded smoothness, which really helps where the malt character has somewhat disappeared.
Overall, it's pretty drinkable. It's lacking a bit of flavour, and sticks fairly strongly to a tradition that doesn't necessarily let the hops shine so much, but it's still fairly solid even so.
