Cloudy mahogany-red colour with a small tan head. Poor head retention.
Quite malty with distinct caramel and dark fruit notes. Fairly mild aroma overall but not bad.
Balanced malt and fruit flavours with some nice pear and raisin notes. Drying malt. Slightly earthy hops with mild bitterness. Probably the best of the Paddy's beers I tried to this point.
Medium-light body with moderaly-high carbonation. This is served by the brewery and it is too cold and too carbonated.
A decent beer that struggles to fit into a mould. It isn't really a dark ale or a porter but it isn't bad.

Pours a muddy brown colour, very cloudy with just a trace of light at the end of that beer tunnel. Carbonation is slow, but feeding a nice dense cream-coloured head. Good retention. Not sure about the colour but a good-looking English style brew otherwise.
Smells very caramelly with some vanilla and chocolate around edges. Yeah, mostly sweet. Can't detect much else; maybe some grassy hop at the back but not strong. Nice and sweet, not sickly. Could use more of something else though.
Taste starts similarly, with strong malty character giving caramel and brown sugar. Mid palate develops a slight bitterness with some hop character coming through, mildly fruity but largely earthy with some resin and stronger phenolic notes. A bit out of sync with the malt; just doesn't complement the flavour, but turns it a bit dank instead. There's an unfortunate hang, very alkaline with a medicinal edge. Needs something fresher to clean up the back and cut off that trailing, less-pleasant finish.
Texture starts alright but then develops a lot of carbonation sizzle towards the back and gets a bit harsh on the mouth. Needs a bit more body to hold up the flavour, as the fizz doesn't suit the style.
Yeah not my ideal drop of beer. Better than plenty of stuff out there, but as the craft industry grows, that statement starts to become less significant. Because this is now worse than plenty of stuff out there as well. Breweries like Paddys that don't experiment much with ingredients really need to keep up with the taste of the market. That is, if they want connoisseurs like me to keep coming back.
