Very fruity, the taste reminded me strongly of ananas, followed by a taste of
white wine (Riesling, maybe). The aftertaste is terribly bitter, though. Made
of malted barley.

“Ruddles County is famed for its dry, bitter flavour, which comes from using
the rare Bramling Cross hops. Many liken the flavour to burnt toffee and
caramel… Ruddles County has a light aroma of soft fruits and hops, and is a
deep brown colour with warm, reddish tones.”
It actually smells a bit like burnt toffee, but I don't recognise fruits in the
taste. The aftertaste, however, is very bitter. Made of malted barley.

“A unique blend of two classic ales BPA and Old 5X. Old 5X is aged in oak for
2 years. Brewed in llimited quantities. This Vintage Ale is dark and intense,
almost ruby in colour with an appetising spicy, fruitcake aroma. This
full-bodied ale combines flavours of oak, caramel and burnt toffee… can also
be the ideal accompaniement to mature English cheese.”
Quite sweet and very slightly bitter. It tastes of candied fruits, maybe
raisins. The after taste of the first sip reminded me of well-done butter
biscuit, the next ones of caramel. The smell of the glass is however not very
pleasant, very metallic. I tried it with bits of Pilgrim's Choice
Matured Cheddar and the result is quite nice (although not extraordinary).
