Vladivostok (156) - Buckinghamshire, ENGLAND - MAY 4, 2013
Copper red coloured ale with a distinct caramel malt flavour and a broad faintly oily palate. Bitterness is quite moderate, but a good Special Bitter nonetheless. An ideal pint for closing time...

KeefOz (470) - Tarragindi, AUSTRALIA - MAY 3, 2013
UPDATED: MAY 5, 2013 Tasted 23/4/2013 draught "The Punch Tavern", London. Poured a semi-translucent mid- to dark brown with a red tint. Poured wiith a thin off-white bubble line for a head. Laced poorly. Aroma dominated by sweet caramel malt but also with a trace of molasses. Taste of sweet malt with a very very slightly mild bitterness. Light body. Smooth, soft, light with a slightly sweet finish. Ordinary.

Otterdance (34) - - MAR 26, 2013
York Tavern. Solid special bitter. Malt is the dominate force here as the bitterness is pretty gentle. Caramel, dried fruit and bready flavours. Medium body, but a little on the thin side.
