UPDATED: JUN 29, 2008 Where to start.....Im kinda disappointed that i threw Tim Taylor Landlord the big 5 out of 5 because this beer needs to be rated higher, be that as it may pours with a volumous...nah screw it Im not going to wank on about flavours, dark fruits etc wah wah this is a great beer its got good depth its balanced its amazing thanks
Rating #300 Bottle courtesy of OldStyleCubFan, thanks Todd! Appearance: Pours a dark brown with an active and attractive looking tan head. Smell: Aroma of molasses, dark malt, caramel and yeast. Flavor: Flavor is brown sugars, malt, spices, rasins, yeasts, bread, vanilla and much more coming together very nicely. Palate: Despite all the flav
ok. Honestly. this was NOT my style of beer. I have had other ones similar in style to this, but did not love this one. It was incredibly sweet, with strong apple cider notes, also i picked up a strong liquor taste. It wasnt bad, and im assuming for its style its a great beer, but just not my thing i guess. Fortunate to try i though.
