Trafalgar Brewing - The Black Bullet
A dark coca-cola coloured beer with virtually no head.
Aroma is mostly alcohol with a bit of sour swamp smell.
Feel is quite rich and creamy, it's looking up a bit.
Taste is much better than the aroma. There is the definite presence of alcohol but a lot of raisin and prune tastes come through as well. There is a strong sweet sugar aspect to the taste and in many ways it reminds me of a very sweet port wine.
I don't think I want too many of these, there is not enough definition to the taste and it is far too sweet for me, I am glad I tried it though so it can't be all bad.

This UK style Ale is medium bodied with a smoky amber colour. If you are a fan of European brew, you will enjoy this one. Limited carbonation with a very light short lasting head. The tiny bubbles hugged the glass with a lacy finish. At first taste you will enjoy the smooth and creamy texture front of mouth which transcends to a hoppy/spicy finish at back of mouth. In the British Ale sense, lighter than what you may expect - still it has enjoyable hop and malt aromas and taste. It's enjoyable chilled, but let it warm up to bring out more of it's flavours and aromas.

Abbott Ale
Dark copper in color with an off white head that reduces to a 1/4 inch froth on top.
Citrus and cocao or maybe chocolate are the aromas I get.
Fairly creamy mouth feel.
First taste is a hoppy bitterness followed by a slightly sour creaminess, finishing with a malty sweetness akin to honey with slight citrus undertones.
Not bad.
