Nice roasty Bitter, from a brewery which I’m increasingly impressed with. Hops on parade, with a rich, tasty finish and mouthfeel. Some nice freshness in the hops and dryness too. Actually very fresh and neatly heeled.

Amber coloured bitter with some alcohol content. Sour fruits and slight bitteness in a finish which lasts. rauchbier (3010), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England

Chestnut, low off white head and gentle condition. Gentle toffee sweetness in the nose, balanced caramel and solid hoppiness in the mouth and a predominantly hop bitter finish.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 26, 2005 A dark red beer with a rather autumnal feel to it. Dry malt dominates. There’s a touch of nuttiness in the flavour and maybe a hint of hop presence in the aroma, but not enough to get the juices flowing. Solid, but lacking in impact. Cask (handpump), Out of the vaults, Leicester.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jan 26, 2005 Cask conditioned at Out of the Vaults, Leicester, (RB Crawl). Dark brown beer with soapy head. Dry malty beer with a little background fleshy fruit, but largely unimaginative. Cooked vegetable finish, very few high notes. haddonsman (1234), Derby, Derbyshire, England
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 27, 2004 Updated: Feb 7, 2005Re-rate, Leicester Crawl 2005 Better - still thin but keener malts and a decent dryness
Original rating 2.1 Cask at Royal Oak, Ockbrook. Bare aroma, dark brown body, solid white head, decent lacing, fairly watery/oily, burnished finish, not one to cross the road. Premium!?
