Jun 18, 2008 Red-ish brown half pint at local beer festival.
Taste is bitter, quite fruity and loads of malt. Bitter after taste. Fairly average pint nothing special.

May 21, 2008 Nice strong heavy beer. Great with food and I think a very winter drink. Lots of flavor and depth to this. So much better than the bottle broadside.

May 16, 2008 [at the Ferry Inn, Southwold, Suffolk] Initially rich, malty, smooth - went down very easily. Aftertaste a little weak and watery, bitter but well balanced. Very pleasant.
The draught version is weaker-tasting than the bottled version, and different flavours are apparent (notably malt rather than fruit). Both are good drinks, and I couldn’t actually recommend one over the other (I’d choose the draught year-roundwhen I was having a laugh with my mates, and the bottle in front of a fire on a cold winter’s day!), but I don’t know how Adnams can call them the same beer!

May 4, 2008 a bit like the 2eme or 3eme GC Bordeaux .... everything is perfectly balanced and smooth ... no rough edges no lumps and bumps ... if you are looking for a perfectly executed medium bodied fruity ale ... this might come close to your best bet ...
